I was already in profit after the purchase and it was good bonus to be able to become eligible for the Airdrop. The current system used for Rebellion is the fairest version of a blockchain gaming Airdrop I have seen. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/L8pvDQGj/Winning-Chances.png) # Results After ~5 Days ![](https://i.postimg.cc/Y0TYvjB1/Results-of-Airdrop.png) I only had a little over 5 days to participate in Conflicts Season 3. The few winning chances were not enough to win a Legendary Monster. I will have far better luck over the next time. # Automatically Enrolled To Season 4 ![](https://i.postimg.cc/bYVTXNWY/Lorkus.png) The fact that @splinterlands went an extra mile to gamify the Airdrop experience along with its own lore and storyline speaks of where the focus is on. We need those who are not merely looking for the finances invested in the game if we want to decouple ourselves from $BTC. These small touches make @splinterlands feel more like a regular game with lore and various special events. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/Dyb1tQ15/Season-4-Introduction.png)vimukthi (74)5 days agoWindows is Adware, Are You Willing To Switch To Linux?Windows effectively switched to a freemium model over the decades and I believe Linux getting better as an operating system had a significant impact on this switch. Windows 10 and 11 can be downloaded from Microsoft's website and can be installed and used on your device without any extra steps. I tested out a Windows install on a virtual machine and it made me realize that even the installation itself takes 5-6 times longer compared to Linux. The OS runs worse than a Linux VM on the same computer. I has first had experience of computers working better once a Linux Distro has been installed on it. I'm not even talking about some lightweight niche Distros that are meant to be used in old systems. A Distro like Fedora or Mint (which are considered bloated by some) can provide a faster, smoother and better secured OS that is many orders of magnitudes more private. # Ads You Cannot Escape* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fdcrTf0_M4 There are some options to turn off the ads. Most regular users will not even dig through the setting to make those changes. Keep in mind that once the trend is to have ads in your OS, Microsoft could even remove the feature to turn off the ads and tell the users to buy Windows 11 pro. # Select Your Desktop Environment What users will spend most of their time directly interacting with is their Desktop Environment. I have come to love Fedora with GNOME. There are many options available. Take your time to test them out and pick what you consider to be the best for your use cases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSg_Phk30FU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvYDEEYiIJIakdx (67)3 days agoWill the Federal Reserve cut the interest rates?# Greetings friends!

I have a question, given that I'm really not a good graphic artist. I must admit, there are a few posts where I used DallE from ChatGPT to do the illustrations. But I wondered if this was well received on Hive or not. I would really be curious to hear your opinions either through this poll or in the comments. Thank you for taking the time to read this, looking forward to seeing all your opinions, have a great week and see you next timeakdx (67)5 days agoWhat will Bitcoin halving do?# Greetings friends!
