All of these distros will let you install them alongside your Windows install. The linux bootloader, grub, will just detect Windows and add an entry for it. So you will be able to select between Linux and Windows at each boot. This is assuming you have the free space on your boot drive, you...

Ubuntu, fedora, debian etc are all linux distros that use the Linux kernel. Many of the popular distros use a more conservative or basic distro, such as Debian or RHEL and make changes to it to make it more up to date and fully featured. That's what Ubuntu does with Debian. Or essentially what...

Or you can always quit trying to modify an OS that is actively hostile to your needs and just use Linux. Preferably a stable version of a point release distro based on Debian or RHEL i.e Fedora/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/etc. Then run Windows in a dual boot or VM for those specific cases where you need...

Not replying to this post in particular. But the fact that this is actually a popular opinion and there are many people who agree with this view walking around is depressing. The various arguments I've seen from them boil down to, 1) We're already being surveilled by NSA/CIA/other state...

Even the platinum card, which you get instantly against FD is also LTF and eligible for all offers. I believe you can get it without FD too. But typically you would need an account and at least 50k FD.

There was a period last year where almost everyone already holding an ICICI CC was offered Coral Rupay LTF on the iMobile app. That's how I got mine. It was on all the fintech facebook groups, I'm sure they issued thousands of those cards. Also, the MMT cards don't have annual fees. Just one...

I'll get a chance to try that soon. But I have heard people say cashback is an exception and sometimes they just cancel your card when you threaten to leave, lol.

One of the lucky few that got in early, I'm guessing. I saw that they've completely stopped doing that now. DId you have to threaten them with cancelling the card?

I need a slot. I can be the third guy if you guys want to form a new group. @bigbyte @prime

Yeah, I use my MMT/Coral cards for the bank offers too. That's the one thing the lower/mid tier ICICI cards are great for. But I'm keeping the Apay because the limit on my SBI cashback is very low (20k, even though I've had it for almost a year) and because SBI could downgrade the cashback card...

It wasn't a horrible season overall. But I hated the alliance some of the teams formed, it ruined the point of the challenges if they were all going to do it as a single unit. I love the old TAR. This new stuff is getting too soft for my taste. I need some hateable people with real competition...

2 x PM991A drives received. Works great.

That website, lmao... If you got your phone wiped because you flashed that thing, you honestly kind of deserve it. Letting some random guy in India/Bangladesh/China not just execute custom code on my phone, but actually have access to the OS internals sounds hilariously dumb. It's all OSS, I'm...

Damn, that's a dumb decision on their part. No point in using my Apay ICICI card over SBI cashback now.
