Imgur is compromised. Alternatives:
Youtube is compromised. Hooktube no longer works. Use:
Windows is compromised. Linux is nowhere near as hard to use or install as FUD would have you believe. Numerous posts have been created here over the years on getting started in the various Linux flavors, and we are more than happy to help out.
NordVPN/Protonmail (along with most VPN/private email services) are compromised. There are no 'proven good' alternatives, but there are some that haven't yet been proven bad:
- https://tutanota.com/
- Rolling your own email server (which can cost just the price of a domain, and possibly also a raspberry pi if you want a dedicated server)
Nightmode is top right: https://imgoat.com/uploads/5e00132373/145569.bmp
You can save posts and comments. You can only view 20 pages of your own comment history, which means that, when you eventually need to cite that one glorious comment you wrote last year/month/week, you'll be unable to find it without having it saved.
Politics spill into everything, and because of the reduction in ability to censor (even for curation's sake), you will find politics even here, in your own sub, eventually. Modlogs are public and cannot be hidden. Here is yours: https://imgoat.com/uploads/5e00132373/145571.bmp
It's a smaller community here. If there is some form of content that you want, but can't find, contribute what small amount you have to start things off and others will pitch in. The Chans work the same way, and the Linux ecosystem as a whole *tends* to operate this way.
(((Echoes))) around a noun signify either that it is Jewish (e.g. for a name), or that it is the product of Jewish meddling (e.g. for a concept). Contrary to mainstream damage control, echoes aren't a right wing 'golden star' or similar, but actually are how they would refer to themselves in classified CIA documents.
Ask people to cite their sources - most are friendly enough to tell you where they found/heard something.
Welcome to Voat. Enjoy your stay.

Wow who woulda thought? We have a long thread and discussion without calling each other niggerfaggot in every other sentence! To those who think it’s necessary: go the fuck ahead and say it. There are however many of us who have bigger fish to fry than calling each other niggers and faggots to prove freedom of speech. Our fish to fry is the deep state to die.

How are we supposed to reach out to people to join when there's such vile stuff here? Why do Jews need to be labeled anyway? Sure, if someone is in some bad Jewish political org, you can call that out, but why are Jews labeled for their ethnicity? This is nuts. Anyone?

May I add a few things. Not all VPN's are compromised. Using an older version of Windows, ie Vista or Win7 hacked (before all the information gathering platforms). Linux is wonderful to run, I have two raspberry pi's that are kicking ass. If you want one, which I highly suggest, the internet is your friend. Tons of Youtube videos. A full Pi set-up shouldn't run more than 35 bucks. Me, i'm stupid and use a Mac. Since I'm the religious dude, I don't feel threatened by those that want to inflict harm. God literally is my guide and protector. Without him, I wouldn't be here to type and be a part of history as it unfolds. God has provided me with not one miracle but so many I've lost count. If you could walk in my shoes for a mile, you'd experience the miracle that is God. You are my brothers and sisters wether you like it or not. We all come from the same mother and father. Act like it, love each other. I'm also typing this to get enough mojo to start /biblicalq Not a clue on this platform but I'm learning!! God bless each and every one of you. God is blessing Q and Q+ and above all Give DJT the wisdom and knowledge he needs for this fight. Above all give him compassion, we are all sinners, some much more than others. Let those without sin cast the first stone. I can raise my arm Lord, but cannot throw. Please Creator, Father of everything help us rid this Earth of those not worthy of your light. Turn those than can be turned into warriors for our cause of ending Child suffering. No child should ever be harmed, ever. Amen. Give us all a sign that we are working for you God, that you are the supreme judge of all Humans. Bring down their house of cards and let my brothers and sisters live in love and freedom. End the slavery. Moses demanded, "let my people go". We, as your humble servants shout now "LET MY PEOPLE GO." Soon our voices will be heard around the world, in every place. Evil is done here on Earth. Go out and be the voice of God, wake those that want to be wakened. Let those that choose sleep, sleep. You all work for God now, get busy. All of the above is asked of you dear Father, not out of pride but humility, please do your best to help us, Amen. Remember that God will not help if he isn't asked to intervene. Ask every possible moment you can.

"Windows is compromised. Linux is nowhere near as hard to use or install as FUD would have you believe. Numerous posts have been created here over the years on getting started in the various Linux flavors, and we are more than happy to help out."
I installed Linux when Windows XP lost tech support. But I also play Lord of the Rings Online, which does not install onto Linux. They have a Play on Linux Windows Environment (WinE) which creates a virtual OS so you can some Windows programs on Linux, as well. Regrettably, LOTRO was too big a program for WinE, so I ended up dual booting my PC with one side Windows and the other side Linux. This went well for many years. However, there are viruses that attack Linux (although few and far between. My Linux side became unusable and Linux has no tech support. I tried uninstalling Linux and trying another distro, but something is wrong on my hard drive. Windows 7 still works fine, but it has many maintenance needs. When support for W7 ends in 2020,. I am going to just use Linux alone, and stop playing LOTRO. BTW, I put Linux Mint on my wife's PC and even though it is now deprecated, it still runs fine. She just does email and Internet surfing. I tend to do much more with computers. If VOAT has a subverse for Linux support, it will be worth doing. But Linux has a learning curve to it. DOS still exists on Windows, but it is rarely used by consumers, so command prompts in Linux might be intimidating.

Thanks. Great tips. @alele-opathic Is there a Linux FAQ or a Tips post stuck somewhere. I looked for one, but I didn't see one anywhere. I'm not looking for detailed instructions on installing Linux. More like what packages I should install or uninstall, config settings and security related tips. Sage wisdom from those who've been there.
alele-opathic ago
I don't have one saved, and search is down at the moment. Usually someone just starts a post in v/whatever and everyone joins in - we get one of these maybe every 4 months or so, and we haven't had one in a while. Things are a little nuts at the moment, and, if you did make a post, it may get lost in the storm, but do give it a try.

I use Proton Mail - so I'm interested in what you mean by Protonmail being compromised. Pls tell me more.
saffremaquis ago
Here's a copy/paste of the info provided further up this thread by alele-opathic, many thanks to him/her for the info: TL;DR for those of you who won't bother reading: NordVPN and Protonmail share a CEO. They claim to operate in Panama/Switzerland, but both companies are shell companies, owned fully by PROTONVPN LT, UAB, which is located in Lithuania, which has a law requiring 6 months of data retention (this matters, because, even though they tell you they keep no logs, they are legally required to maintain them). Finally, the headquarters of PROTONVPN LT, UAB, is in the very same building as TesoNet, a Lithuanian data mining service. ProtonVPN claims that the colocation is just happenstance, and they don't actually work with TesoNet, but researchers found NordVPN using privacy certificates signed by TesoNet in their official app binaries.
This also applies to DuckDuckGo as well, who was started by (((Gabriel Weinberg))) to capitalize on all of those wanting to jump ship from google, and does track clicks and links (though it claims not to). An article by the timesOfIsreal on Weinberg's site, which didn't have any traffic worth speaking of until the Snowden limited hangout, which pushed everyone even mildy privacy-aware straight into the dragnet.

May I add, if you love Win XP and/or Win 7, Linux Mint is the distro for you. Install it alongside Windows so you have an OS that won't cause problems like Windows.

What do you guys think about the potential of Debian being compromised? Assange referenced it once, and the founder of Debian 'committed suicide', and other things.
Linux Mint is the go to - but I'm wondering if we should not be recommending anything Debian based.
I say this as a long time linux nerd, looking for opinion of other nerds.

Thank you so much for the tips and the warm welcome. The censorship going on over at reddit and YouTube is ridiculous. I couldn't believe that this purge is really happening. Thank God for Serial Brain2, Praying Medic and Spaceshot76 for getting the Word out and directing us to a much safer platform here on Voat. We need to stay together. We will not be scattered to the wind. United we are strong. They are so afraid of the truth. They're so afraid of the masses waking up and finally seeing the evil and the corruption that has blinded our people for so long. I trust in my Lord and Saviour's promises , which is why I have faith and can trust in Q's plan. The Q team told us this would happen. They said not too long ago that the attacks would intensify, but these people are stupid. #WWGOWGA

What evidence do you have that ProtonMail is compromised? State your source(s), please...
alele-opathic ago
Detailed info in in the linked text above, copied here. Copying my response from a similar question here.
Extremely short story: They claim to be Swiss, but the Swiss business registry shows them owned by a Lithuanian company, and Lithuania law requires 6 months of records necessarily be kept. Furthermore, they are cohoused with a datamining service; the CEO claims that it is just coincidence, but their android app certs are signed by the datamining service itself; turns out both companies share a CEO.
Sources are Swiss business registry, Lithuanian Business registry, droid APK, and the CEO's responses on the hackernews forum, so you can easily verify yourself.
PatrioticOkra ago
I haven't seen data on a compromise, bt it's Swiss, and Switzerland has a mutsl legal assistance treaty with the US, which means that the US can get access to anything the Swiss government could compel ProtonMail to turn over.

I would also like to add if anyone is considering switching to Linux I would recommend Linux Mint as the first choice to try. https://linuxmint.com/download.php The download to get is Cinnamon 64-bit. After downloading the .ISO download a program called Rufus https://rufus.akeo.ie/ and using Rufus you can make a bootable USB drive to install Linux Mint.
It may seem like a bit of work at first, but I promise you its worth it.

A suggestion for an alternative to Youtube - Mike Adams (aka The Health Ranger) who himself had his YT channel banned because he was highly critical of censorship and also covered (uncovered) inconvenient truths like the many questionable practices of Big Pharma, the CDC and GMO’s as well as current affairs like Deepwater Horizon and missing Malaysian Flight MH370. (He did that great ballistics analysis of the Las Vegas shooting based on the rifle reports). He's a true patriot, as well as a research analyst with his own Lab and when YT started banning conservative content creators, he wrote his own alternative - Real Video (https://www.real.video/) which closely mirrors YT without the lag and buffering issues of others like Steemit/Dtube/Bitchute. Website is: https://www.naturalnews.com/

Hey! I'm an old linux user. Still have LM and Ubuntu on some comps in the house. I've been wanting to create a liveboot thumb drive for my Windows laptop, but haven't found a method that won't take me hours to figure out. Any suggestions?
The thought has crossed my mind to erase Windows 8 off my laptop, but it's a work computer. Hence the flash drive option.
On another note, I just created a mailfence email the other day. Any thoughts on it's security?
alele-opathic ago
If you are creating it from windows (which it sounds like), Rufus is the recommended tool to flash live USBs. Make sure you select Fat32 and tick the MBR option if the other OS on the machine you want to boot is non-UEFI enabled (i.e. Win7 or older). You can burn a live USB of most any distro this way, provided you have the .iso (or .img .etc) downloaded. Excepting actually writing your thumb drive, setup takes about 30 seconds.
I couldn't tell you, sorry. I more or less stopped paying attention once I started rolling my own.
BetweentheGreennBlue ago
Awesome - exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks. I have windows 8, so the MBR option won't be needed. What's your preferred iso lately?

If you're not a Gentoo user, you should be using Mint. Anyone in-between is just afraid to go full-Gentoo.
TL;DR - Install Mint until the urge to build your own kernel becomes too great.

BetweentheGreennBlue ago
Mint has been my main one, for the simple reason I just don't have the time to do all the tweeking that's needed. Mint simply WORKS, and I really love it. I wanted to try something different, and went to SUSE, but when I had several hardware issues (ie. It worked and looked great, then crashed, every time), I just went back to Mint.
Thanks for the confirmation. Cheers, and let's keep this fight for freedom alive. Amazing that it seems every generation or two we have to go through this BS all over again. Welcome to history.

Damn im buzzing and feel dumb looking at this..

Thanks for the info! I know some guys here are not so nice but most of the people here are actually trying to help and welcoming us the best way possible :)

Thank you - very useful tips .

I realized my VPN was likely compromised, but had no idea how to tell if one was good or not. Any guidance on this? It seems like even then it does offer some protection, at least from random sites
alele-opathic ago
This probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but there really isn't any way to 'prove' a VPN good.
Consider who you want privacy from. If you just want to torrent, then don't sweat it. If you are planning to take over the world, you couldn't positively 'know' that a VPN was secure unless you owned it's nodes.
PatrioticOkra ago
This.
That being said, I find cryptostorm to be sound. Https://cryptostorm.is.
thisistotallynotme ago
token purchases are legally separate from VPN access? check.
VPN exists in a jurisdiction that prevents subpoena? check.
Banking/accounting of tokens exists as a separate legal entity in a unique and protected jurisdiction? check.
Tor access built-in? check.
Company known to commit suicide rather than submit to subpoena of a single user? check.

Thank you for the tips. Very appreciative.

CBTS and GA refugee here. Didn't post here but read due to GA links. Now it's my home so shell out some votes folks.Thanks.
JohnChimpo ago
Ditto here. I was a pro-am lurker, but yesterday's purge was my battle cry!
asymptote_12 ago
Mr too... GA/CBTS/GLP/LOP/The-Fringe/etc refugee.
I hope this one lasts til the end of the storm at least...

Super helpful- thank you thank you!
BQrnAwake ago
I was only on GA reddit a short time-now I'm here. I've watched this censorship get to such a stupid level and it's like we're living 'opposite day' or 'backwards day' every day for the last 2 years! If I have a laptop w/windows-how would that program replace it? And would my microsoft office 365 still work? Something tells me it wouldn't but can anyone give me more info if you've been using it? I'd really appreciate it.
Strelnieki ago
Ive often referred to it as Bizarro World. Homage to Sealab 2021.
BQrnAwake ago
Earlier yt kept asking me to 'sign in' but it stated I was 'signed in'-it wouldn't let me share/like/save to my playlist-things are happening and I'm not sure if those 'things' are for the best or worst just yet! I restarted my phone-same thing but eventually it went back to normal-I'd love to know the truth on what that's all about!
Phil_Free ago
Sealab 2021! Love it! You are not alone! ;)
Ashamandre ago
Thanks for the tips! Niggerfaggot that came here when pizza gate got shut down, returning because I got burnt by shreddit...again.

Thanks for the tips. will setup a linux box after today :)

Great Tips. I feel like I’ve been shipwrecked on an uncharted island and not sure what language the natives are speaking.

I think its free will language. Anything goes.

Hahah very much so
mjw8129 ago
Exactly! Feel the same!!
ee_tard ago
and I'm sure you can't wait to ban them right?
oldzeke ago
I've been here long enough to tell you this: 90%+ of the new arrivals are cancer who don't belong here. Faggots typing "LOL" and not understanding how a sentence operates are an emblem of the exact sort of cultural degradation this site hopes to vanquish.
Chin up, shoulders back, and don't tolerate any Reddit circle-jerk faggotry from this point forward.
Welcome and I hope you enjoy it.
TyrannyinTX ago
Welcome fellow Patriots and Q followers. WWG1WGA. We will not be silenced because of fascist social media platforms! We grow stronger every day!
angiebou21 ago
Lol, yeah me too, Patriot.. I’m gonna lurk and learn.
flylife2103 ago
A new place, a new language, a new adventure. I will often ask! be patient :-)
BadMonk ago
Same here. Back to lurking until I 'get it' again.
Malakyzek ago
i am an old man. i fall into the 'old dogs...new tricks' category. but i have signed in figuring that i can at least support y'all by throwing upvotes at you as often as i can. i love this country. i love this president that we have been given. i love all of you who are working to pull this country back on to a path of righteousness. God bless this country. God bless you all.
Conyin ago
I’m not sure how this thing works either, but I too think we will get our country back. We have to stick together. I’m getting pretty tired of weasel $&@# taking away our freedom. I’m old too, but will fight to the death when needed! Clean up aisle 7
Malakyzek ago
lol. i spent a LOT of time lurking on greatawakening....loved to read what peeps were doing and saying. i found it to be an excellent source for qanon commentary. but i find i don't have the 'skills' to jump in ...there or here...as i find i don't understand how stuff works...like the upvoting..etc. anyways i do very much appreciate your comments you sent to me. thank you. i know i cannot do much...but i will do what i can...and try to learn along the way.
Svetlana ago
LOL! Me too! But thankful I’m here. Let’s get busy and keep getting this sites log info out to the others! WWG1WGA!
upvoat99 ago
All they have done by banning these subreddits is force splintered groups with the same goals together. These people really are stupid.
deplorableme2 ago
Feel the same, I was just getting started (3 months). Great to be here and thanks to Qmap dot pub for showing the way.
Mammaof5 ago
Ditto for me too. I am spittin' mad!!! I feel like I'm living in com munist China.
MagaRepublican ago
great analogy. I was feeling the same and trying to navigate around.
Past-Worlds ago
Shipwrecked is exactly how I felt too. I lurked forever on Reddit, signed up a while ago and then last night things went kasplodey. I'm just picking myself up again, dusting myself down, gritting my teeth with determination, flipping Reddit the bird and carrying on the good fight. As for language... we all speak Q!
007forGod ago
Yip, me too. Have been following Q for a while, also praying mefic. But was reasonably new to redditt, just began finding my feet. And the they threw us out. So bye bye redditt and thanks VOAT. We're a very loyal bunch...
subshine ago
You may also like "neon revolt".... he's on Gab and @neonrevolt.com. ( and no, I am not him, lol)
joanofarc1951 ago
Yes neon revolt has great posts. He deeply researches any subject he writes about. He is so good that Twitter and YouTube banned him quite awhile ago. He, along with SerialBrain2 and PrayingMedic are 3 of my favorites. Justinformed Talk on Youtube is another.
TyrannyinTX ago
I was on reddit long before Q came about but I was just lurking in the Q sub reddits until they decided to pull the plug. I will never be using reddit again. Good riddance fascists may you go the way of the dinosaurs!
Whoohoo ago
Same. I still will be on t_D until it gets the hammer per Q notes. I never commented on GA, but lurked due to being more a chan person. Having a more comfy platform for discussion is useful for many.
Meatgod ago
T_D probably just lost a ton of active users. oh well
HRKrow ago
I too have been following for the last 6 months. Fortunately everyone I’ve spoke with in the real world have been on board with Q or interested. These are amazing times to be alive!
AQuirethetruth ago
Ive been following daily for 6 months aswell but no one really wants to know here yet, so I rely on this community to keep my sanity in these epic times!
OsoCovfefe ago
Yup, we do live in interesting times! WWG1WGA
Jatsinkutsu ago
Like me everyday when waking up 😂
tantruminterruptus ago
Perfect analogy! Still...the air smells fresher than our old place and I can't wait to get my feet and help continue the fight. Already seeing a lot of familiar usernames!
Awakenednotwoke ago
I've noticed a lot of familiar usernames too! I pray we Patriots can keep going on this site through the New Year!
Kehar ago
I debated, but decided to change mine to go with what I use on Gab. But my old one on Reddit was chocolateredhead...
mjw8129 ago
yep, circling the drain at reddit, now here! Hello to all Patriots and obviously, WWG1WGA, or some of us anyway!
Palindromedan ago
I kept my old user name, and I was happy to see some I recognized too
ImNoDisneyPrincess ago
I'd only learned a few phrases and now I have to start to learn another new language. Pardon me, while I lurk awhile and people watch till I get the hang of it!
flylife2103 ago
Great Tips. I feel like I’ve been shipwrecked on an uncharted island and not sure what language the natives are speaking.
mm_on_the_wall ago
Yes! I had lurked on reddit for 6 months and just got motivated to join the conversation and be counted less than a week ago. I will definitely need a new warm up period.
BeenT_DoneT ago
Same here. I lurked for 8 months before I thought what I had to say might be Post worthy.Any way, glad I was able to migrate from thegreatawakening site to here with other like-minded Patriots. Long live Voat/the awakening. WWG1WGA
Gypsy12345 ago
I feel the same but I am enjoying the show from here much better
Man_Quan ago
Just dive in. The water is fine. It works much like Reddit so the learning curve is almost zero.
jackmcmick ago
Same for me...must say the lingo is very ..ummm ..very...freeing
Svetlana ago
Welcome! GA was an amazing place, this will get up there too. Enjoy. This board will be have a learning curve but they all do.
Fighting4OurChildren ago
Not sure I understand this new board. Maybe with time. In any case, though, I'm glad to be here!!
Glory_Freedom ago
Yes, in full agreement. Time to learn again.
AQuirethetruth ago
Same, it will take some getting used to but WWG1WGA!!!!!
HRKrow ago
Love your name!
Fighting4OurChildren ago
Hey, thanks so much!! Thought a lot about my name before registering. Fighting against the abuse of our children (worldwide) is my main heartbeat. Looking forward to nailing these evil suckers. WWG1WGA!!
Dafunkstarr ago

Refugee-From-r-GA ago
Same here. I, for instance, learned at least one new word! Never thought I would type the word niggerfaggot!
Meatgod ago
Still have trouble with that, but I get it. If you can write it and not be banned, then you are in a free speech zone. It is the canary in a coal mine. I left voat after pizzagate devolved into some sort of nazi like shit show. again, I get it. The goal is to drive away the shills. But I can't send my grandmother there to learn more. I think that is the issue I am having. I think that was why reddit was serving a purpose.
Kodo0 ago
Only those who really want to will know the truth.
NoisyCricket ago
Exactly right. This is all that matters. If people are repelled by liberty then we don't want them around because it's impossible they can ever meaningfully contribute to a discussion or society at large. They care more for emotion than facts or evidence.
Words like, "nigger", "faggot", or, "niggerfaggot", need not become every day words. I have no use for them in daily life. In fact I've used them more since the Reddit Great Awakening migration than I have in years here.
Here you will lean the true meaning of liberty, tolerance, and diversity. Sadly, the real meaning scares many people away. Which brings us back to the canary in the coal mine.
“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." - George Washington
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire
"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Soren Kierkegaard
“A people which is able to say everything becomes able to do everything." - Napoleon I
People who hate the canary have no place in America, let alone Voat.
WWG1WGA!
Traprock ago
Ok so.... wow,I feel old with all these new terms....but what is a niggerfaggot? Saw this earlier on Neon revolts sight. Would I be an oldfag?dumbblondefag?
Pandas_revenge ago
Is fag a good or bad thing? Lol
Traprock ago
So many questions these days and so many answers that can be skewed multiply ways
Traprock ago
I quess it depends how you look at it and who you are
DTPerk ago
LOL! Interesting what we can learn by taking a leap (or being FORCED to). My newest coined word off the chans is 'assfag'! 'Autist Support Staff' (No Homo!) LOL!!
Peanut22 ago
Me too

Me three. So glad we are able to regroup.
Peanut22 ago
Do they know it says this when logging in: this site is called subversive?
TheMightyWurlitzer ago
Yes. Please, please, please ditch Windows if you still use it. Mint Linux.
deplorable_podunk ago
Yes, for sure. Been using linux mint for many many years. Love it. Have never looked back.
aboxofbooks ago
The flavor I would recommend to a newbie would be Elementary OS. It's SUPER EASY and what I'm using right now. Very nice and reliable.
thisistotallynotme ago
Elementary is a very strong 2nd-place for newbie distro of choice. The only thing it lacks is pre-installed codecs and other tweaks that Mint does.
Soakingitup123 ago
Would this work in a raspberry pi? Thinking that may be a better alternative to getting a new laptop. Or perhaps dual boot
thisistotallynotme ago
Yes, but you'd be better off using a different distro like raspbian. Mint is x86/amd64-only. raspberry pis all use Broadcom ARM chipsets and video.
TheMightyWurlitzer ago
It just might but you'd need to find someone who knows techie stuff to tell you for sure. I would think there is some flavor of Linux that would work. Short answer. I don't know. best o luck.
aboxofbooks ago
make a live USB using the program Rufus. Here's how: 1. Download your flavor of linux 2. Download Rufus on iwndows. 3. Launch rufus 4. Point to where your download is 5. hit start 6. let program run
To use, put into your usb port, then restart your computer. 1. you may have to hit escape, f2, f1 or f12 to get to a menu 2. Computer should boot into linux. You can use it "live" without committing to installing if you want. 3. When you are ready to install, it has an install option on the desktop usually. 4. Whole installation should take somewhere between 5-10 mins.
Meatgod ago
Damn it. Lost. FML. I am so fucking locked into windows and android. FML
Remnant601 ago
Definitely great advice. Linux Mint is so much easier to use than Windows. Just find a few years old computer and install Mint. Add your favorite browser. You don't need to know any Linux commands to access the internet.
Mr_metanoia ago
Manjaro KDE, FTW--but... Honestly, I keep relapsing w/ compromised shit. I gotta stay in Windows rehab or something. Maybe learn how to use WINE. Didn't know about Protonmail, tho.
alele-opathic ago
If you are dual-booting, which it sounds like, it helps to set up a soft symbolic link between your windows user folder and wine user folder - this would allow you to run e.g. your favorite windows music software and keep your playlists/music, etc. Ask for more on this if you are curious. Also, note that the current wine version is 3.02 (or 3.15 if devel channel), as most distros pack an older version.
Do note that there are other things you would need to do in Windows to make it play nice (i.e. disable fast startup, disable hibernation), but then you could set your windows partition to automount and everything becomes automagic at that point.
Also, grab the Luna.msstyles file (from WinXP) so that everything doesn't look like ass.
Ask for help if you need it!
Mr_metanoia ago
I'm dual booting, indeed! I really only have just begun using windows because I never had any money for software. Had been all over the distros for awhile as I inherited a few old laptops. Developed the same affinity for upper-tiered-older hardware at cheap prices because of the Linux experience with Manjaro, Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary... even had PuppyLinux on a 10 yr old dell for my youngest. I don't get WINE tho. Tried to use it a couple of times and I should have watched some YT videos or something...
I understand about the BIOS/Win10 changes being necessary for compatibility, but how are you creating the sym-link? I only ever heard that term on busybox.
alele-opathic ago
Use ln in a terminal window. The -s (for soft) argument will create soft links, as opposed to hard links.
One caution though - check and double check that your paths are correct before entering the command. If the link is wrong, you need to use 'unlink' to remove it, which, though it sounds like it only unlinks symbolic links, can actually unlink normal files as well (which is the equivalent of deletion, but a little worse, as undeleting wouldn't recover metainfo [like filenames]). Just doublecheck and you will be alright.
Use quotes if your windows path has a space in it. The fake windows system wine creates is hidden by default, but should be in .wine in your home directory. Match up the two folders from both windows and wine and copy+paste from the file browser into terminal for the easiest way to not make a mistake.
robertawearefree ago
If you can manage to set up a dual boot system, then you can manage doing whatever you need to do in Linux. Take the plunge.

Great guide, great site!

Thank you! Looking forward to making new friends and meeting back up with old ones.
Semlow ago
To meet the old postings, one tip to review and save original Reddit discussions using google cache: Google with three search terms, i.e.: https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/ drops 2063 The link, 'drops' and the drop number, here 2063. Then find the search hit with the reddit url and the correct drop number. Don't click that link, just the triangle behind (down arrow). Recovered! Sorry using google but in this case they are useful because they remember anything we say. ;-) Maybe someone finds a way to build an archive. Feel free to repost!
