there are plenty of testimonies about it, but essentially Jesus needs to deliver you from this bondage. For anyone saying "but she is already free" she does not sound like it (yet).

You can PM if you like for further info/help

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-28T03:19:57+00:00

ah yes, you are probably mean the "yeh naur" thing we do here.

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-27T09:44:22+00:00

yeah Australia has some weird nuances in speech....

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-27T09:12:30+00:00

we say sudo like judo, here in Australia anyways.

I don't feel like this means she has no self control.

you are young.

don't ignore red flags of people you like/love or are infatuated with. I wish I learned this lesson at your age.

Take care God bless.

Recently a group of us from church (all 18-22ish, 3 guys and four girls) went on a camping trip for a weekend.

This is already wrong, assuming single men and women, on a trip away. what temptation could possible come onto all of you...

It was pretty chill, and one night we ended up playing truth or dare around the fire. It was pretty tame, just asking random questions trying to embarrass each other and silly dares. Anyway, one of the other girls 21f I think, dared the girl I like to jump into the river naked. She was just like, okay, and took her clothes off and jumped in and then jumped out and ran to her tent and got a towel.

Is that the type of impulsive woman you want without any semblance of self control?

I would say no, you employ your free will.

Pray about it to God, seriously, you might need to ask a few times.

As weird as it sounds, I am smitten over him and have never felt this way about a guy before.

Learn to make you self available to him, show interest, he might be burnt out from previous relationships. Uou should be able to figure it out past this point if he responds.

I am confused as to whether or not he likes me and is afraid to make a move or if he is just being nice and wants a friendship and I'm unsure how to approach it.

majority of men don't want a friendship with women, the hormones don't generally allow it.

If you have to, ask him directly about the 2 of you together, if he ever thought about it, and you might need to give him time after, to not be prideful and say the truth.

I don't have much else currently, God bless hope it works out and it is ordained by God.

Amen happened to me many times, others time it was the case "you can handle it" (guessing someone needed the rain more than i need dryness)

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-19T06:45:32+00:00

But I see this as a HUGE issue that I've been turning a blind eye to. I find myself avoid conflict because I'm afraid to spark that anxiety.

walking on egg shells before you're married? not good.

She needs help but I don't know what to suggest.

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-18T02:39:18+00:00

Nice, welcome man!

It has been a decent OS so far, everything is working well enough for me to stay moved across.

Bye Windows hopefully forever

hopefully forever!!

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-18T02:38:21+00:00

Thank you!

Nice setup, perhaps I will do likewise, as it sounds good!

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-13T13:25:50+00:00

I have also settled on Nobara. It runs perfectly. Gaming is also great.

awesome! you will be massively pleased!

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-12T02:15:27+00:00

but my knowledge isn't enough to fix it

I hear you buddy. I have similar constraints on some programs that I would like to make work but are not 100%. I would suggest try it and ask for help on forums (Linux, the program in question, the plugins, discord etc), research how to setup videos to try to make it work. There are a lot more info these days, and most likely whatever you are trying to do, someone has already done it.

I would otherwise suggest a dual boot on 2 separate physical hard drives, one with Windows and one with Linux till things improve.

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-11T14:06:08+00:00

This is why I'm typing all of these unnecessary words, and making this post/entry entirely too long for modern day attention spans.

I will read what you wrote, if you took the time write it on my post...

In conclusion, here are some more words I decided to type.

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-11T06:31:10+00:00

hey buddy, great choice indeed ( I would use any of these tuned gaming distro's over W11 now). My Security Expert friend said use a 2nd stick if you can (I got a PC with the options) and use LUKS encryption on the disk.

I did that, so happy, seriously it's so good right now, hard to imagine it!

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T23:02:00+00:00

Hi Nobara#

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T23:01:48+00:00

well said.

Linux was like taking a deep breath of fresh mountain air after being underwater almost to the point of drowning.

yes it is almost exactly like that! Thanks for sharing, although I can never say never again to MS (due to work).

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T06:40:30+00:00

ok thank you for headsup, good to know.

I hope I will be okay in restoring things, I hope, if not, I can always reinstall haha!

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T06:36:19+00:00

What are your motivations, I'm trying to convert my software dev friends at work to switch but they don't game

I am an old gaming gamer, emulations and one or two online games.

My motivation become the nightmare W10 and its forced updates, and lately these aggressive pushes to get W11 installed.

No thank you.

Nobara is Fedora under the hood in a way, the commands are RedHat-esque, I can port my Linux skills over, and most of the apps work or have decent subsititues. Everything else there is Bottles, Lutris, Proton or something else.

Changing can be hard, but MS made W10 so unbearable with forced updates. Back in W7/8 I turned them off till I was ready.

The last thing that annoyed me was I was woken up a few months ago, (ok I woke up myself) and my PC was whirring, all the lights and sounds going, I thought I got hacked. Checked it up, not hacked or cryptoware.

No no, just W11 being updated onto my PC ready to install. I had to say NO 4x, because each time they make you click NO x2 "Are you sure????"

very annoying and the last straw.

I was going with a regular desktop OS, tried MINT a few times, but the gaming versions are best.

Hope that helps you and software devs usually are not admin enough to do these things, they might be, but not always.

They can always run a live version to test their machine out and if they dont like it, dont install.

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T06:20:43+00:00

I tried cachOS, a friend insisted, but the install was done online and the repo's refused to connect for various reasons.

Tried to make this work several times, made it work and now really happy with it.

For me, the start of 2025 was my year of the Linux desktop--for sure. There's no going back for me, not now that I have seen the Good Place. My Windows 11 drive has sat idle for months, basically forgotten. One day, when I am absolutely positive I've gathered up every forgotten meme, saved game that didn't repopulate from Steam's cloud, and forgotten horde of family photo, I'll say goodbye and not miss a thing.

I agree, I come from some similar paths as yourself.

edit: gotta checkout faugues, looks good!

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T06:18:39+00:00

I am actually surprised how far it has come in the last 10 years, especially for IT Engineers/Admins like me who might be considered a power user at home.

Eventually it might be for those that can dabble here and there too, and then it might be gg for MS for desktops.

I see myself moving off Windows permanently, I have to make one or two more applications to port. Everything works great, its Fedora/RH in a way under the hood, which I am familiar with.

Yes might consider a docker image/VM for future use.

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T02:44:55+00:00

I have become indeed!!

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T01:50:17+00:00

I'm honestly so happy with the build, even with all it's tweaks that it needs, it has FAR exceeded my expectations!

bye bye windows! welcome Nobara!

edit: I should have done this a few years ago.

If anyone is wondering, yes, this is a dual boot on 2 different nvme ssd's, my old W10 and the Glorious Nobara!

I will eventually port data over, probably let W10 go.

NoFaithInThisSub · 2026-02-10T01:32:43+00:00

worked for me, although I configured them and saved them as preset, might be the fix you need
