God all you noobs coming over I’m going to have to switch to OpenBSD to keep my cool nerdy edge /s
Recommend Gentoo and Slackware to your least favourite co-workers!
I worked in a shop where my lead Dev used Gentoo as theit daily and a co-worker used Slackware.
Nobody else I’ve ever known or met could light a candle to their skill set.

Reality: the system
I just got a free win 10 laptop from work. Where do I start the linux?
I recently switched to Linux and the latest KDE surprised me with how powerful it is. Scaling works. Fonts are rendered nicely. It’s just easy to use. Most of the time I don’t even think about the fact that I’m running Linux anymore.
it’s back to DOS for me
in many ways, I wish I’d never left
I know it’s not the sub for it however some people might like to know: the open source tool Rufus, when noticing that you’re creating a Win11 USB, will by default offer to patch it to remove the TPM requirement and other restrictions. So now I have W11 happily running on an “unsupported” machine. Yes, I did have Linux on it previously but something has regressed in the kernel in the last year or two and it often freezes on wake, which is well beyond my care factor to help debug.
Also, Win10 IoT LTSC has guaranteed support into 2032.
I only used windows on my desktop for gaming. Having a Steam Deck, I was really eagerly waiting for an official SteamOS distro for my desktop. And then I tried Bazzite. I have been playing games on Bazzite for a couple of months now and I’m super happy. So glad to get rid of Windows’ constant nagging and Microsoft’s worsening practices. Every time I booted my desktop there was a new shitty surprise either to make my local login profile into a cloud one, forcefully update to win11 or some other unwanted bad UX. Bye bye Microsoft, at long last!
whats bazzite like installed on a desktop system? is there a hotkey that lets you switch between the steamdeck mode and the desktop?
There are several services offering code micropatching, I still have a perfectly safe win7 machine online for retro gaming
No “what if”, you 110% can! I’ve been running Linux on a netbook for over a decade. It would absolutely choke under the weight of a Windows installation.
Linux sucks
Just kidding I’m just trolling
god at first i saw only the first line cuz the second was cut off. the relief i felt upon scrolling XD
You’re preaching to the choir with this one.
Its for the choir to preach, in turn, to others.
