Maga: Socialism for me, bootstraps for thee.
I've used Linux Mint and other distros daily for more than 10 years. Never had a virus or malware issue and don't even run antivirus software.
During that same time I've had to help friends remove viruses and malware from their Windows machines dozens of times. The latest Windows disaster I've assisted with was a few months ago. A retired friend had her Windows 10 machine hijacked and $8K stolen from her savings account. Making sure the malware was removed required hours of work formatting the drive and reinstalling Windows.
IMO you are far safer with a plain vanilla Linux install that you are with Windows, no matter what steps you take to secure your Windows installation.
By Monday Maga will have "proof" that he was a post transition furry.
Right on schedule.

Release the Epstein files.
The Maga rewriting of reality has begun. Civil war will be back on the table by tomorrow.

The Maga rewriting of reality has begun. They'll be justifying civil war again by tomorrow.

Not cancelled, delayed. The screeches about this being a left wing plot going back decades haven't gotten rolling yet. The far right's civil war will be back on by suppertime.
The backpedaling on the WSJ's lie has begun:
On September 11, 2025, The Wall Street Journal issued a caution regarding its earlier report on an internal law-enforcement bulletin concerning the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. The bulletin had mentioned ammunition found near the scene with "transgender and anti-fascist ideology" engravings, but the Justice Department indicated the report might not accurately reflect the messages on the ammunition as the probe was in its early stages.
I haven't seen the word "war" (or guerra) used by other writers or politicians regarding this tax. It seems to be a word this writer chose.
IMO it doesn't matter who it is any more than it matters that vaccines are safe, Magats will make up their own story. 20 years of social media saying the guy's a hard right nutcase will just be considered a liberal conspiracy.
Maga was spreading the news that the shooter was a liberal within minutes. The vast majority will believe that they're under attack by liberals despite any news or facts to the contrary. Anything else will be viewed as another conspiracy.
Reality is not a place where Maga and Fox News live.
There can be a period after graceful shutdown where the UPS is still running and the server will not restart if mains power comes back on. Not a likely scenario, but for apps you can't afford to have down it's something to consider.
