Two. The first time I had nvidia related issues with nobara, so I removed nvidia drivers for reinstallation… And couldn’t figure out how to get them back. The second time I had used mint for long enough that I felt confident enough to nuke windows partition. I used gparted and nuked the whole disk instead.

Not counting the times I tried fedora and it killed itself with the first updates and then with multimedia codecs.

Nice try, mister ransonware attacker hacker!

Indeed. That was back when I used windows, and I found it quarantined in defender. No idea what kind of spyware I got from it, but I wasn’t hacked and I didn’t lose my moneys.

I have been using 1337x.to for years and it’s listed as #1 option for general purpose torrents in the megathread. I get everything from there, except for music which rutracker is better for.

You should always be careful when downloading stuff though, once I was drunk torrenting and found a movie, but for some reason it wouldn’t play. The next day I noticed it was an exe file…

and it has started already! didn’t you hear about the covid vaccine!!!
