Thankfully the BBC aired the MASH episodes that were without the laughter track when I was watching it years (decades) ago. However, I’ve seen it more recently on one of the minor UK Freeview channels, and that came with laughter added… which eventually grates.

God Save the King/Queen wants a word.

The whole of The Ramones catalogue. Basically just one song split into parts.

You can have mouse support with nano. Alt-m toggles it on or off.

Mandrake 8.2

I have fond memories of it, as it weaned me off Windows.

Edit: Actually, Knoppix was my first foray into Linux, but Mandrake was the first Linux distro that I actually installed.

Wish that was around when I moved from lemmy.world to lemm.ee some time ago. It would have saved me a bit of time. Nice that it’s there for the future, though.

Not that you should have to, but wouldn’t running Windows on a virtual machine thwart Peacock’s restrictions? Again, not that I think that that should justify Peacock’s restrictive stance.

You’re right. Over the years, I’ve installed various kinds of Windows for relatives, and various Linux distros for myself and my wife. I’ve found, particularly in recent years, Linux is easier to install and more straightforward. Yeah, I’m an experienced user, so it’s fairly easy for me and not intimidating, but I can’t see a Linux installation as more difficult to install compared to Windows.

Most users, as you say, don’t install an OS themselves, which applies to both Windows, Mac and Linux.

Hopefully they come back alive to do so.
