The longer you use linux excluslively, you don’t think about windows or mac. You think about fedora or suse, kde or gnome, yay or apt, distrobox or toolbox.
That is…true, actually. The longer I use Linux, the more I’m like “…but what if, man, what if I ditch Arch for Fedora or NixOS or give Pop_OS! another chance (and i very well might when Cosmic launches)?” And sometimes I do…and then always come crawling back.
Going back to Windows full time ain’t even crossed my mind for a hot minute. Partly because i have a spare driver running it for emergencies (that i barely use anyways, only because Windows literally runs one important app that I need, that I can’t run on Linux), and partly because going back means being stuck with Windows 11 again, and I really dislike Windows 11’s design choices, personally (and Microsoft in general, but i digress).
IKR the longer I use Linux the more I think about TempleOS
They don’t give us free games with the OS anymore but TempleOS has HOLY games
Nothing TBH. I find Windows too stressful, Macs are too boring, and I can’t use TempleOS because I don’t have schizophrenia.
Nothing really. You pay with your time by going to Linux but the effort is getting lower both because of me getting better but mostly the experience won’t compare with 20 yeara ago.since the non FOSS alternatives are getting more telemtry/call home functions rhe choice is an easy one.
I never “switched”. I just started using the right tool for the job. I use Linux for productivity stuff. Windows for gaming and audio/music production, mostly. I don’t own a Mac anymore but if I did, it’d probably be their laptops, and I’d probably take over some of the development and creative work while on the go. I’m admittedly not very “religious” when it comes to the software I use. Whatever works best for me. I’m not married to anything. Makes it easier to switch things out down the line.
Wayland, I know that you think some features are insecure and these days I’m actually fine with using it but please give it up
What force the developers back to X11?
No, I mean that the Wayland devs should stop saying that features are security flaws and just admit they don’t have features
At a certain point I just feel like Linux isn’t designed to let me talk to God. All that bloat like networking and hardware drivers get in the way. I need to get away from the CIA mind control and return to something pure and simple. And when I feel that way, Based Terry is always there for me.
RIP Terry Davis, Temple OS forever
I feel like this post is guerilla marketing for “TempleOS”, which I’ve never heard of before and will absolutely not be looking up after this.
It’s not. TempleOS is a famous from scratch OS created by a guy with serious mental illness. It’s a sad story, but the capability of that guy was incredible. He’s gone now :(
Nothing, but my biggest gripe is with the fucking file explorers. All of them are super inferior compared to win10 sadly
What are your favorite features of the Windows 10 file manager? Listing what you miss from other operating systems can help the Linux ecosystem to improve.
Very old comment, but my 2 cents: sorting by extension instead of MIME type. I don’t want my jpegs, gifs and pngs mixed up when I tell PCMan, Thunar or Dolphin to sort by type. It annoys me to no end that something Windows has had since at least 95, most distros’ default file explorers don’t.
I already have a 60+ hour per week job. I don’t need a second one, endlessly diagnosing why the simplest of tasks are constantly breaking.
Huh, funny. I say the same about windows. Typical tasks performed at work on windows machines take hours that take me minutes. Constant random failures, etc etc.
My Linux machine at work is rock solid
Using Widows on my private rig now to play Fortnite with my son after ~15 years on Linux only. Also getting a MacBook Pro at work now, since I have to use Zoom and stuff like that everyday. Having no hardware acceleration on Linux is a no-go. This is not Linux’ fault though. Also I’m old enough to just use the right tool for a job.
