In Québec, cyclists always say that driving laws do not apply to them, they never stop at STOP sign or a red lights, are on the road or the sidewalk instead of the cycle lanes, etc.

They are very dangerous as they respect nothing especially in suburbia. In Montreal sometimes they stop!!!!!!! because it's stop or die, mainly.

I am using Linux since the 90s, used Ubuntu a lot at one time, then started using MX linux, 16.1 iirc was my first install. Then I continue to use it, I have always like Xfce (coming from mwm and such), and no systemd, no snap, no flatpak etc. MX is very stable, use the latest package in .deb format. I am using it for almost 10 years now, 24/7, I am using it as my work PC too.

Windows cannot access EXT4 or BTRFS by default. Also in Linux you can use LUKS to have your partition encrypted, and Windows even with a ext4/btrfs driver will not be able to read your data.

Of course Windows, if infected, could wipe your partition table or things like this.

For the distro try MX Linux, they have a version for latest HW (the AHS version) and a standard version, even a 32bit one. It is based on Debian, always up to date, no complicated systemd, snap, flatpak, etc. It is using Xfce that can easily be setup with a bottom bar with menu, windows button and systray icon like Windows.

MX Linux (Debian based), using it for almost 10 years now (before, it was Ubuntu). Based on Debian, very stable, always up to date for every kernel/apps, use native .deb no snap no flatpak no systemd. Also it is using Xfce by default, the best DE.

Quand je suis parti de France ça n'existait pas ces buffets, mais au Québec oh bordel il y en avait des tas dans les années 2000, pour tous les goûts, à des prix à tout casser, 5$ "all you can eat", des buffets chinois, des buffets avec toute sorte de bouffe, des "Pizza Hut" aussi était "all you can eat" c'était incroyable :)

Depuis la pandémie la plupart ont disparu, ceux qui reste sont dans les 30$ + taxes + tips ici on s'en tire à pas loin de 50$ ce qui est cher...

Je comprends en France l'engouement pour les buffets en tout cas!

I'd be completely lost with BEPO...

I used QWERTY US in 80-90, it was the only available keyboard on 8bit machine (Sinclair, Amstrad, Commodore, etc), then AZERTY in 90-00 because I had a PC, then moved to Québec so since ~2000 use QWERTY FR_CA. Because of all the switch and never learning how to type, I still type with like 2 fingers :)
