I went to Linux at the beginning of the year and "had" to install windows onto a drive this past weekend, I've looked at myself this way in the mirror everyday since.
I installed Linux on my PC this week, so yeah.
Spill the beans! What distro are you running?
Mint until someone makes a distro Karlach themed.
BTW?
I want that feeling to disappear, by having Linux completely dominate the OS space.
Sex is cool and all, but that feeling of something natively supporting Linuxβ¦.
4 days? Try 10 minutes.
I mean... yeah.
Ive been Linux only for 3 years and I gotta say, I still can't convince myself to move to a stable release. Opensuse tumbleweed is just on another level.
Updates, roll out!
Ma Man!
Justified imo
Even 4s would be fine, anyone whoβs made the move is better than anyone whoβs stayed.

I swapped back (250gb paritition on my 2nd internal ssd) for iracing and a few other nonsupported games. (and to do some initial hotas setup, moza updates, etc.) It's wild how slow windows is just in regular use, even opening the settings and clicking stuff takes 5 years while it's all snappy and fast on linux.
I have a win 11 partition on its own drive as well for some stuff that I still need to use while I figure out how to get it running on Linux. I think itβs funny how windows forgets how to tell time and run peripheral devices because I was booted into Linux previously. Like what are you doing?
Best part is that it never gets old day after day after day af...
I get a hit of dopamine just doing mundane tasks on Linux.
i'm still in awe i can literally just play videogames on linux.
The progress in the last 2 years has been nothing short of amazing.
The KDE team, Wine, Proton, TKG/GE/etc have worked miracles for the Linux community.
Also, shout out to Microsoft for spectacularly face planting in their move to Windows 11/CoPilot/Vibe coded OS development. Nobody deserves more credit for Linux's growth than Microsoft's complete failure to innovate as an operating system developer.
the best part is that they didn't even need to innovate, they just had to not ruin it
Little did we know that their long LONG term plan was actually "EmbraceIncompetence, ExtendBlueScreens, ExtinguishSelf"
The siren call of enshittification-driven short-term profits was too strong.
Can confirm, I'm using arch btw and every three pacman -Syu 's I run into issues that are new to me
One day I will figure out what other Arch users do and why my installation had not a single issue in the 3 years it has been running so far.
I was thinking the same thing, I have installed it on a laptop and it's almost boring how it just works.
I'm on arch now (BTW) and I'm eyeballing fedora atomic sway.
Just nuked my CachyOS install with a routine update and switched to Bazzite after repairing it in chroot failed. I enjoyed the entire process, even the failures.

Well I know I'm superior because I don't use the OS that funds a pedo's STD collection via stock value.
Thats how i look at my former self
Been running cachy for a couple of weeks now, and after fucking up the setup once, second time was the charm
I love it
Effing things up is part of the process, I guess.
Back before I switched to linux it was how I (as a then Windows 2k user) looked at any version of Windows w/o the NT kernel. Now its how I look at people who still use Reddit.
Maybe I just like to look at people that way.

sudo systemctl reboot && systemctl deeznuts
I do so while I order my servant to throw them some pennies.
