When I switched from Windows to Linux back in 2002, I never looked back. I missed absolutely nothing. Linux offered everything I needed and more, with unmatched freedom and flexibility. In late 2008, I bought a unibody MacBook, and while macOS wasn’t bad per se, it just didn’t feel like home. I missed Linux too much, so I wiped the MacBook and installed Debian. From that moment on, I’ve never switched again—Linux has always been home. I’m currently rocking Arch (btw) on my main desktop & Debian on my laptop…

My motherboard is a stock dell from around 2012 so I doubt performance would be at all good. Thats even if it worked in the first place…

GPU passthrough has always been one of those exciting ideas I’d love to dive into one day. My current GPU being a little older, has only 4GB of RAM. Oh the joy’s of being a budget PC user. Thankfully it’s more of a “would be nice rather” than an “actually need”…

While I appreciate the utility of snaps and flatpaks for providing sandboxed, cross-platform apps, I’ve often found them slower than traditional packages. Their tendency to take up more disk space also feels inefficient, especially when system resources are sometimes precious. For these reasons, I generally prefer using apps installed directly through the system’s default package manager, which tend to offer better performance and use space more efficiently…

Loving that nvim config ^~° Using a similar one myself…

I really want to love Elementary OS, however, its foundation on Ubuntu has me hesitating, as I’m not the biggest fan of Ubuntu lately. If it were built on something like Debian or Fedora, I’d definitely be more inclined to give it a serious try…

While I’d personally never install or use this, it good to know its there for the extremely small percentage of people who’ll want or need it…

It ain’t the same, and probably never will be…

I never said anything about “tiptoeing around”, but what you said here is correct…

Any distro will “just work” if used correctly…

I honestly don’t care about dethroning windows or anything related to it. All that matters to me is that my Linux system works the way I need it to…

I absolutely love how minimalist this looks…

Computer is connected to the router via ethernet. The connection to the router is I believe fiber optics…

Doesn’t have to be every week. Could be every other week or at least once a month. I haven’t used Windows since 2002, but personally, I update once a week, and it never takes all that long, maybe 2-3 minutes tops. But I understand that it’s not for everyone…

Fair enough…

Arch can definitely be a “set & forget” type of distro. Just install it, use it correctly, and that’s really it. No need to upgrade to new releases; just keep the system up to date…

Not every system, no…

Anxiety at its finest !!

Personally, I consider a “bloated system” to be one that has a bunch of installed apps that I’ll never use…

In the past, some people have expressed dissatisfaction when I’ve sent them files in .odt format. However, it’s the superior format in terms of support and functionality, so I always make them aware of that and of the fact that I will never use some shitty ms product…
