  • I didn’t come here to complain about linux, but the number of distros that give me a black screen after some hardware change or update is more than I can count on two hands. What this post is denying that both userbases have wildly different userbases because linux generally requires a higher skill level and Windows is over a much more massive userbase that includes people who can’t set the time display on a microwave. And they don’t use linux.

    Furthermore, pre-downloading the driver is completely unnecessary as the default windows driver would allow you to continue using the PC and download the correct driver after installation. No “series of misfortunes.”








  • To do the math;

    $75 x 25 years at (a conservative) 5% = ~$253

    @7% it’s over $400.

    Probably not worth your time to wait 25 years for that.

    However,

    $10/mo at 7% is much more interesting: $8,200

    And $10/week: $34,500

    Over 25 years this isn’t huge, but it’s *something.”

    I used a very conservative % because past gains do not guarantee future performance, and one should not put all their eggs on one basket…But VOO over 30 years averaged 10%, so $10/week with $75 start @ 10% for 25 years is just under $55,000. Double it to $20/wk and you’ve got $108,000.

    IDK what’s in store for the world, but for now, people should invest early and regularly. If it all goes to shit even money under the mattress won’t help, so go for the % IMO.
