What's interesting about it?
I think I was five years old.
*HUGS!* 😀
I have an old MacBook on which I might like to try installing StartOS.
I would save the contents of the computer to an external hard drive first, but here’s what I’m wondering:
When installing a new OS on an existing machine, does it replace the old OS and all the contents? Or does it create a “split” of sorts, such that when you boot up the computer you can choose which OS to run, and access all the content on the specified system?
Just trying to figure out if I’ll be able to “use” the old MacBook as it was, after I install StartOS, or if it’s a complete overhaul and “no going back”, in which case I’d be much more careful about backing up the old hard drive.

A bit of caution to give you:
I've installed Linux on plenty of "Windows laptops", either as a replacement, or dual-boot.
I recently turned my spouse's Intel-based MacBook Pro into a dual-boot, and it's wonky as hell, especially with wifi. It seems others have run into similar issues running Linux on Mac. Sometimes it just means spending some time playing with drivers, configs, etc. So maybe I just need to spend a few weekends deep-diving into Mac hardware issues.
I encourage you to forge ahead, you'll learn a lot. Just be prepared for some Steve Jobs "gotchas".
I am thankful to be in a universe of abundance.

We should have a party for them. A Tether Ball.
Do you compost? If not, that will help reduce trash bag usage.
Is that a lot? 😜
You're talking to people that thought Twitter (a communication tool made to limit communication) was a good idea.
I'm interested to know what changes you notice from your previous experience. Cheers to coming back!
Congrats! Welcome to Nostr!
Yeah, it made me laugh when I first read it. I do prefer "buyer be aware" to ineffective nanny-state.

It's always been the case that if you want your data preserved, you have to do it yourself. So far, my .json backup file is small.
