Evil_incarnate , 29 days ago to Technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

I agree. Most people won't switch to Linux because they have never used it and think they'll have to relearn computers from scratch.

The previous owner was an early Linux dev, wrote stuff that is still in the kernel. Yet unencrypted drives just thrown in the trash.

I've cleared the drives and now use them for myself, after I searched for a wallet.dat file.
