Yeah it’s brand name is kiaro it just uses a usb to connect to the laptop, and revOS is basically just a custom windows install that has as much of the bloatware removed as possible as well as some UI mods to make it feel more like old school windows a little bit. The laptop is from like pre 2010 so Microsoft is slowly killing it’s performance with all the bloatware crap. Kinda ridiculous that they don’t take older hardware performance very seriously on windows the thing is just trying to run simple GUI printer software and it was struggling hard before revOS.

Some people don’t play competitive FPS games exclusivesly, shocking I know.

Shit lol, I meant wine, I personally use proton for steam so it’s stuck in my brain first. Also it’s not so much that it’s ancient but that it’s a commercial printer not really marketeted to the public, but I’ll give running the computer on Linux a shot with wine maybe a Linux miracle will happen.

My job in the a non technical field relies on a laptop to run a label printer, the laptop is ancient and I already had to install revOS on it so that printing labels isn’t horribly bogged down waiting on the laptop to load the simple printer program. Is there anyway that proton would be able to run that program? Probably not because of all lack of driver support, if anyone has any ideas I’m all ear, even just pointing me in a direction would be appreciated!

I use mint and barely had to do much trouble shooting and once everything was working how I wanted it didn’t break for me I just boot up and play, the things I had to trouble shoot were getting my headphones to work and my Logitech mouse keybindings but they were both 5min searches to find programs to install and fix the problems, if you use Linux for work it will probably be even easier.

To add, if you are on the fence for this reason I’d do an 80/20 dual boot. Buy a second hard drive it doesn’t have to be very big, then move your personal files to Linux and use that as a daily driver and have the second drive to just use for nothing but games that won’t run on Linux but you really want to play/friends want to play with you. You’ll find that you rarely have to use the second boot but the second drive will cover your bases for the edge cases, 256gb or even less should be just fine for the second drive since you should only have 1-2 games that won’t play nice with Linux. I wouldn’t partition unless you have a massive drive with space to spare it’s just really annoying to get the space back into one portion if you decide to go back to a single partition.

Eh generic tex-mex rice and beans pretty good not great. Way better than it looks though.

Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Enter. Very complex and confusing I know.

I agree I just meant they use all their power against any socialist movements both domestic and abroad I used the term won’t let it happen as in won’t let it happen on their watch as they have largely been alowed to rule unopposed for over a century but it seems that from one generation to the next they have taken more and more from those at the bottom and it seems that they’re reaching the tipping point where their tower is starting to crumble. ✌️

What we need is to put a stop to the pursuit of infinite growth and the pursuit of endless profits. The capitalist class doesn’t want this because it would end their way of lives, they won’t let it happen, there’s no reason it wouldnt work.

My keyboard just says Win so I feel like a winner using Linux 😅

See you are still mistaken the owner and worker in your example are the same person where as in many big businesses they are two distinct groups, with the smaller (in proportion of people) owner class having most of the leverage in negotiations. To the owner if they employ others the wages they pay are a cost to their profits, with the farmer he is also his worker so his overhead beyond his operating costs is his “wage”. Both have operation costs like buying raw materials rent/taxes on properties, machine operation/repair costs. Profits are a cost that employees pay to the owners if you want my opinion on it. There’s an argument that the owners deserve some portion of this but at the moment profits are put over people because the leverage like I said earlier is in the hands of the owner class.

Not in every case but you’re the one painting with a broad brush not me.

So when you see a group of kids building a sand castle together on the beach it’s ok to just walk over and kick it over right?
