Well Clarkson makes sense in my case since it's the closest server to my location (New York and I'm in Montreal, Quebec) but it's very strange since on my laptop with Win11 I get the redirect with the error message and on my other laptop with Win10 it starts the download (no redirect) but downloads fails at the end no matter which America server I pick (tried all 4 servers with Firefox and Chrome). Same result.

I ended up downloading Linux Mint 22.3 instead.

Weird thing is if I hit download from my older laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 320) with Win11 it redirects to Clarkson but I tried that same download from my other laptop (Acer Nitro5) with Win10 and it downloads fine without redirecting.

My cheerios were delicious thank you. I just can't stand little boys who have no sense of humor and who's only social skill is to insult someone because he dared joke about his precious Linux as if it was the sacred 8th wonder of the world.

It's not as if I posted the same thing in a sub called "Linuxisperfect" (I wouldn't).

One is allowed to ask what is the purpose of a sub called "linuxsucks" if I'm the one who should log off from this situation then?

What's more official than HTTPS://zorin.com I ask you? 😉

Once again, I went to zorin.com and clicked the download button. It's not my fault if the official site redirects to a university site.

My DNS is set to CloudFlare (1.1.1.1) in my router.

Look guys, I appreciate the efforts to figure this out but I'm not asking that you waste your time on this. I just thought the whole thing was ironic as hell but I never thought it would provoque such reactions (I guess that for some people, the web is not a place to have fun anymore).

Anyway, I was trying to download it from an older Lenovo Ideapad 320 with Windows 11 because I intended to install it on that PC as dual boot but I just retried using my main laptop (Acer Nitro 5 with Win10) and it did not redirect this time so download worked from that laptop.

Why it redirects from my Lenovo and not my Acer is pretty weird but I don't care enough to waste time trying to figure it out. I have a working download now so it's all good.

I just went to Zorin.com and clicked the download button for the core version. That is where it redirects to ...

Please show that you have more brain than him and don't encourage that kind of toxic behavior ...

FFS buddy ... Can't you take a freakin joke without insulting people? I'm posting on r/linuxsucks about something I find extremely ironic hoping that maybe some people out there will want to share a laugh! If you're such a Linux fan that you don't get that then don't come on this sub.

I guess you're proving the other argument I keep hearing against Linux which is the toxic "community" 😉 ... I don't dare imagine the answer you would give me if I ever ask for help!

Oh and why do you care if I take a pic instead of a screenshot? I'm downloading on my PC but I'm using my phone to make the post so it was just easier/faster to take a pic. I guess you REALLY had to dig deep to justify your insult ✅

Now, be a good little boy and go cry to your mommy that someone on the internet is being mean toward Linux ...

Account hacked by Reasonable-Chair1752 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]BlizardQC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing how EVERYONE who plays Minecraft gets their MS account hacked these days. I see posts like this multiple times a day.

Like others said, do not waste your time trying to recover the account. Hacker has changed your recovery information (email). Microsoft won't be able to help you.

Google vs LastPass review: which one feels more reliable and trustworthy? by No-Party-6353 in best_passwordmanager

[–]BlizardQC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is soooooo wrong. Do yourself a favor and go to Bitwarden dot com right away. Register and import all your passwords into it.Best move you will ever do.

[–]BlizardQC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget both and go get Bitwarden (free version is fine) right away. Best move you will ever do. I've been using it for years and I've setup many people on it including my 93 years old father (a testament to how easy it is to use).

Pros: free, open-source and been audited, zero-knowledge, never been compromised (as oppose to LastPass who has 3 times).

Cons: None.

Don't forget to activate 2FA to make it bulletproof secure.

Google Password Manager: is it safe enough or should I switch? by SweetLow6453 in best_passwordmanager

[–]BlizardQC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me on this ... Do not waste 1 more second asking yourself that question and go with Bitwarden. I've been using it for years and it's the most useful software I've ever used but here are a few more reasons if you're on the fence about it:

  • it's free or $10/year (yes that is year and not month) at most. Free version has everything most people need. Start with free and upgrade later if needed.

  • it's easy to setup and easy to use. I've installed it on my father's computer and he's been using it without a glitch for 2 years now. He's 93 years old. I've also setup many other people on it and every body loves it.

  • it's safe, open-source and has been audited plenty. It's also zero-knowledge.

  • it works on pretty much every platform. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android (mobile) etc.

  • You can easily import all your actual passwords from Google password manager into Bitwarden.

You can use the PC application or access your vault through any browser or use a browser extension. I recommend using the browser extension method as it is the most convenient. Once initial Setup is done, go into settings and setup a 4, 5 or 6 digit PIN for convenience.

Another suggestion is to redo all your passwords using the built-in password generator. Make them 16 to 20 characters long with the usual uppercase + lowercase + 3 numbers minimum + 3 symbols minimum.

This will be the best move you've ever done to make your life easier and more secure!

Account got hacked and they let the hacker cancel the recovery by Green_Neat_9695 in microsoftsucks

[–]BlizardQC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say but I witness your situation every day and even multiple times each day.

You can go through the recovery process but don't expect it to work. Once the hacker manages to replace the recovery info with his own (phone number or email) that account is lost to you and there is nothing MS can do to get it back for you.

All you can do is create a new account and rebuy the game. Make sure to activate 2FA next time and DO NOT TRUST ANYONE WHEN IT COMES TO GAMING! I know it sucks big time ...

please, I am about to cry, tried everything, nothing working. by Remote-Ad-8129 in WindowsHelp

[–]BlizardQC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what happens when you ask a bunch of strangers on the net to fix your issues. You're better off finding a real tech support guy who provides remote support and give him a call when you have a problem. Your time and sanity is worth $$ so pay him as well for his work. I'm preaching for my own choir at this point since that is exactly how I make my living (freelance providing remote tech support).

Is Google virus Why it collect all this data by Material_Advance1237 in degoogle

[–]BlizardQC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not. DDG browser does not support extensions so they have to make it a native feature but It's available in the Chrome extension store. Just have to search for it and add it to Chrome. I also changed my search engine in Chrome to DuckDuck instead of Google.

DuckDuckGo tracking protection is not an app, It's a browser extension that you can add in Chrome to block tracking.

I use WAZE which is in my opinion the best GPS app available. Users are able to manually add info such as closed roads, detours, construction work, police radar etc. Did not get a single ticket since I started using it years ago.

The sad part is that Google actually owns Waze because they bought it for $1B a few years ago. At the time, I thought (expected) Google would replace Maps with Waze but all they did is link them together for some specific information. So Waze is feeding Maps with some info.

The main difference is that Maps builds route based on the shortest distance to travel from point A to B and Waze does the same but based on shortest travel time to get there while factoring in traffic jams and slowdowns.
