It's also a post in a trans community, so it probably speaks to a lot of people's experiences. I didn't feel like it's rude, especially after thinking about it recontextualized from a political context. Like, what if someone made a meme about seeing leftist memes but they were really a "conservative" and that was posted in a leftist circle. It might just be me, but it doesn't seem rude either way because that would speak to me as someone in a circle like that.
From my understanding, i2p is an anonymity focused way to access the Internet. It cant access normal websites, but it can access I2P websites. The main difference between i2p and tor routing is that i2p uses what's called "garlic routing" and tor uses "onion routing". Without getting into specifics, unlike Tor, on i2p in order to join the network you also have to let other people's traffic go through your computer. This is called being a relay. I2p initially started as a way to obfuscate your IP address to access IRC channels, but has been expanded to be its own dark web.
i2pd is just the program that would allow you to connect to the i2p network. Usually when a program has the letter d at the end, it's what's called a daemon, which is just a program that sits in the background waiting for you to ask it to handle something. In this case i2pd is waiting to handle your i2p traffic.
I'm curious about your point of view bc ur comment sounds like you don't believe in religion but your username sounds like something religious(I'm not a native Arabic speaker). It roughly translates to "witness of worship", right?
It really depends on tone and how long the interaction would last. I'd consider saying that rude most of the time as the person making small talk is just doing something nice.
My reason is that I just enjoy computers n shit. It's nice to learn new stuff while programming so I have it in my toolbox for later and I don't just have a cursory idea of what my computer is doing.
I feel like the cool features I think of are generally Linux features
You can periodically have scripts run by setting up from jobs(e.g. make a temp folder that deleted it's contents every 24hours or update the programs on your computer at midnight everyday)
Ricing your desktop, I've never done it but there's an insane amount of customization you can put into how your computer looks. Just look at unixporn(it's just nerds showing off their desktops) to get an idea
Getting used to using your package manager, it's extremely nice to not have to open up a browser to download software but to have one place to look every time you want to find software (try using the apt search command)
Picking Ubuntu was a really good choice for testing out how it'd feel to use a Linux distro. That isnt to say there aren't things that the average user wouldn't like when using it. If you need to use office software, there is Libre office suite, but it's just not as widely used or feature full as the Microsoft suite. Or if you're trying to sync files across devices, I swear every linux user has a different means of doing so (one place to start would be Syncthing).
I hope you have a great experience and that you learn a lot from it.
I have games installed but I mostly just write programs for fun now. I usually don't get a ton of time to play games, plus they haven't been as fun as they used to be as a kid.
The only thing I build from source on a normal basis is LMMS because there's some features on main you just can't get anywhere else. For example, the slicer that comes with LMMS nightly isn't in the builds, and particularly recently someone pushed a commit that allows for resizing of the slicer, so I just had to pull that and build it.
