  • Good on them for stating it upfront though. (The mention of “alt-right” indicates a more recent version?).

    Back in the 90’s/early 00’s it definitely attracted people both left and right winged.

    However from my personal experience right wingers was more prevalent in wargaming compared to rpg’s. (Which really sucked because there you were enjoying a nice back n forth about Warhammer and then out comes the racist nazi talk…)

    Games Workshop did good by making a pretty strong statement a while ago. But I’m afraid it’ll always be a thing.








  • I hear ya, getting into it can be messy. And having a VM on the side is a good choice.

    My current idea of a solid setup to manage long term:

    *A main machine that has a bare-bones, lightweight Distro on it. Just the stuff you need to work + a VM program to run:

    VM1: a copy of your main OS, test stuff out here first if you think it’s risky.

    VM2: big tech corp spy software IF you need it. (Keep that sucker offline)

    (And make backups/snapshots of your installation every once in a while).

    If you have it: second machine: this one is for degoogling ect, save your social media stuff here before you take it out back.

    If you have it: 3rd machine to run as a personal server (working on that myself)

    This can all be old gear. In the process of getting to know Linux better and better (which is an ongoing process for all of us) you’ll get more and more fluent.

    You got this! Don’t give up!
