Life

Born in the Sardinian town of Sorso, he studied law at Turin and Pavia before moving to Milan and taking up literature, remaining there for the rest of his life. The late nineteenth century English novelist George Gissing thought that his novella Si Muore, read by him in January 1890, was 'far more interesting than I expected; in fact excellently written'.[2]

gollark: Windows would use >30GB, has ads everywhere, would likely take longer to boot, does not as far as I know do good full disk encryption, generally tends to run slowly and randomly use excessive resources for no reason, and I would *need to pay for it*.
gollark: My Arch install fits in 20GB or so, and I could cut it further if I actually cared, has no ads, boots in 25 seconds off my SSD to a usable desktop including time to enter my encryption key and password, and runs blazing fast.
gollark: e. g. stupid preinstalled bloatware.
gollark: There can be issues other than hardware and drivers.
gollark: Noveau is as far as I know missing features, and also hard to spell.
