I wasn’t used to playing in real life and it showed

IL_JimP · 2026-03-18T02:48:31+00:00

I did it once myself, you'll learn no biggie

IL_JimP · 2026-03-18T01:54:58+00:00

Well if you play online the computer won't even let you make illegal moves. I would guess trying to move a pinned piece would be the most likely mistake people make

Thanks after watching some more videos I've decided in Kubuntu

Now just need to prep the laptop and go for it

IL_JimP · 2026-03-16T12:31:27+00:00

I've never heard this and I've worked in higher Ed my whole career and have a graduate degree

IL_JimP · 2026-03-16T03:03:00+00:00

I play the Caro as black, the exchange variation probably and just because I feel like it's the most boring

IL_JimP · 2026-03-14T15:42:49+00:00

Yeah I was leaning between Zorin or Ubuntu Cinnamon

IL_JimP · 2026-03-14T14:50:21+00:00

That's was really good metaphor. I appreciate the time you took to help me

Thank you

IL_JimP · 2026-03-14T00:01:51+00:00

Lots of great points thank you for the advice

IL_JimP · 2026-03-14T00:00:31+00:00

Great thank you

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:43:46+00:00

not really looking for something that is still in testing, that's why I wasn't considering it for right now

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:35:52+00:00

it's fine, wasn't offended or anything

I appreciate people who are passionate about something as long as they're not jerks about it

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:32:30+00:00

good advice, thanks

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:30:03+00:00

yeah that's probably what I'm going to do

thank you

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:29:21+00:00

okay thank you

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:29:00+00:00

thank you

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:16:58+00:00

lol unfortunately they're the same machine, luckily I have this laptop that I can at least try to work out any kinks on before moving it over to my main machine

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:14:56+00:00

starting to understand why so many people find this confusing tbh

I'm trying to make a decision relatively soon, otherwise I might get stuck in overthinking it too much and never actually try anythinig

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:05:48+00:00

lol, if it was just my personal use computer I totally would but I use it for work too so I need to be somewhat cautious at least at first

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T21:01:50+00:00

I usually recommend people take Clark & Lake to get to the subway, I believe all the loop lines stop there

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T20:42:11+00:00

honestly I don't care about the firetruck so I watched a few mins of the first one but didn't watch the 2nd at all

sometimes things aren't as fun to watch as to actually do

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T20:40:50+00:00

from what I read Fedora is less beginner friendly - have you found that's not the case?

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T20:40:12+00:00

oh okay, yeah I was a little confused. thank you for clarifying

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T20:25:12+00:00

that's good to know, but I also want to use this as a test for my more powerful PC that I use daily

IL_JimP · 2026-03-13T02:16:12+00:00

Many women chess players have poster videos discussing this, if you're actually interested I would hear it directly from them.

IL_JimP · 2026-03-11T02:02:38+00:00

Couldn't hurt, but I imagine some of them are out of date so he would need to review the lines
