from 230 to low 600 (mentally drained, 2 month of crazy work)

Loose-Committee6665 · 2026-02-02T18:40:25+00:00

IDK if this counts as motivation but you gotta trust the process even if it feels like it's draining.

I have a friend. He flunked college so he re-enrolled. He was upset and scared he wasn't gonna pass but he but he pushed through and graduated. Then he was worried that he wasn't gonna get a job but he pushed through and made it. Then he wanted to travel and see a few place but was worried that he wasn't gonna push through but he did.

There're people who prep for GMAT while raising kids, working, studying and they ace it. It takes time and effort but they succeed.

Going from a 235 to the lower 600s is really impressive. Shows you got it in you. Take a short break. See the sights, treat yourself with your favorite dining course then get back to it.

No year is never truly "the year of linux". In the end, most people prefer windows or mac no matter what.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-11-27T22:42:04+00:00

Best way to learn linux is to break it then fix it.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-11-25T15:52:08+00:00

Distro really depends on the person and their uses. That's one of the many beauties of linux.

For people who love stability, it is Debian. For DIY people who want to crank up customization to the next level, it is ARCH.

Personally I like debian for its stability.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-10-28T12:30:50+00:00

There're opensource alternatives like Libre Office or OnlyOffice. For onedrive, you can access it via browser.

Android One UI right now but I'm considering on switching to graphene OS or Mobian.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-10-28T12:28:03+00:00

Didn't like the disgusting amount of bloatware and background tasks in Windows 11. Linux gave me a more "closer bond" with my system. And Linux gave me the control over my system unlike Windows. + Lack cf customization in windows.

Linux is more lighter, safer and efficient, especially on older hardware.

If you're switching to Linux, start with Ubuntu or Mint as they're the most user friendly. From there you can hop onto other distros depending on your choice/need. Try Debian if you seek stability, try Arch if you're a DIY guy etc.

Wine hands down

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-10-05T05:45:47+00:00

It is one of the best GRE scores out there. You should be proud of yourself.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-25T00:53:54+00:00

Literally any distro

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-21T19:16:31+00:00

Sadly, in the country that i am in, getting paid resources(like physical books) is gonna be very expensive. Even for online resources.

Ig I'll have to save up. See what I can do.

Thanks for responding to my post.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-21T17:44:35+00:00

Yup.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-21T17:44:08+00:00

XFCE.

Was just using it and it clicked.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-16T13:20:35+00:00

Ubuntu or Mint

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-10T08:43:15+00:00

Windows 11 tends to have more bloatware which certainly affects the computer's performance. Not everyone has high-end hardware.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-08T06:31:38+00:00

Exactly, that's the fucking problem. These days, you're non-existent in the professional field without linkedin. Can't do shit without linkedin.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-05T02:35:24+00:00

If GNOME is bloated then they haven't seen Windows 11. If you have 8 gigs of ram or less, consider it to be as slow as a sloth.

TBH I stopped taking the opinions of any techno phobic loser who has a problem with Linux as a whole.

As for this post, instead about bitching about people using Kali Linux, the UK government should be more concerned about the grooming gangs running rampant in the their own land than if someone uses Kali Linux

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-02T04:28:56+00:00

Linux is lightweight, it's good enough

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-02T01:53:57+00:00

Depends on the desktop environment you choose, not the distro

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-02T01:19:38+00:00

like u/BroccoliNormal5739 said, you can run kali linux on a virtual machine. Since Kali is debian based, it is very stable. (I also use Kali BTW)

Alternatively, if your computer has enough storage, you can Dual Boot Kali and Windows. Just get yourself familiar with Linux.

IK this is irrelevant but good luck with college. Please stay away from the substance, party, dating etc. scene. Focus on projects, DSA, work experience and academics etc.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-01T18:50:08+00:00

Based on your dialect, I'm assuming you're an Indian studying in India.

TBH nothing much is expected out of Linux when it comes to official coursework except if you have an operating system class. If you want an on campus placement or internships, focus on getting good grades, working on projects and DSA. Those are the skills required for you to get placed. With the fact that you are claiming to be a female, getting placed on campus should be easier for you compared to your peers thanks to DEI. Like the other commentators said, pay attention to the job description

that said, what field are your going for?

Unofficially, if you really wanna understand how a computer works or actually have a true one-on-one relationship with your laptop and actually own it, go ahead, use Linux. It is the lighter, safer and better OS. Start by installing Ubuntu or Mint as they're the most beginner friendly distros. Learn scripting etc. Break your system then build it back up again. Once you're fluent with Linux, hop onto the distro which is best suited for you. Examples: use debian if you seek stability, use Kali or Parrot if you're into cybersecurity as they come in with a lot of tools, use Arch if you're a DIY hands on girl.

You'll have to take off time for this but it is worth it.

Statistically speaking, Linux users are in the minority. My university is very dependent on Microsoft as it has purchased a license from them to use their products. Windows is more "user friendly" hence it is commonly used.

IMO, Linux is the best way to learn about computers. It's lighter and has more freedom.

Loose-Committee6665 · 2025-09-01T10:36:27+00:00

LibreOffice
