Well I know I'm superior because I don't use the OS that funds a pedo's STD collection via stock value.
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.
The few people I know that still use Reddit already used the Reddit app and the "new" interface before the API changes. I don't think they care too much to begin with (so yes, I also look at them that way)
Its more you are at the cutting edge where the general public will be in a few years. The only time I don't see that happening is when I think of the tildeverse as that is more an offshoot than a evolution of the tech landscape.
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

I do so while I order my servant to throw them some pennies.
sudo systemctl reboot && systemctl deeznuts
Imagine being a Linux user and a vegan, it's absolute moral self-masturbation
Vegan Linux users can compile their own protein from source.
Their purity level is so high that they can kill -9 anyone wearing a leather belt with just a glance.
I'm thinking about changing distros to Arch, for the animals (vegan btw)
There's probably a pretty decent crossover between those two things.
Which distro do you use tho?

As it should be.
I still look at Windows user like this after a year
If they didn't want to be looked down upon then they wouldn't be using inferiour software.
You know, I have used DOS and various un*x (hpux, aix, irix, sunos/solaris, sco, bsd, minix, sVr4, others) in the 80s/90s, before linux and windows existed, so I'm looking at you like this, peasants!
/s :)

Unironically me IRL. I switched to Bazzite from Win10 this year and it's been real smooth. I can't belive how easy the transition was.
Back in my day we had to manually install nvidia kernel modules. In the snow. Uphill both ways.

Ten years and I still look like that.
Helps that I have to use Windows at the office for a constant reminder of how shit it is.
Exactly. You can't even do arithmetic in the search tool of a computer. I just tried to change Win + C to open the calculator, and while it says I can pick any application, the list of applications is actually just copilot! So I can have their useless search, or copilot, or copilot. Great
The biggest issue I ran into when migrating was because I created an NTFS partition that I intended to share with my dual boot. So many programs had issues setting correct privileges on the folders or the privileges would reset after a reboot. Trying to find help was very difficult because I was doing something stupid to begin with. When I changed the partition to exFat or something else all my problems were solved. A couple of years later I maybe have booted into Windows 2 times total, I just use my work laptop when I need to run something that has issues with wine like the tax software
If your work laptop is a pain for those last Wine resistant apps: I recently started using (and liking) WinBoat for running Fusion 360, the 1 piece of software I can't get running in Wine and can't manage to switch off of. It makes it really easy to maintain a windows VM and then use RemoteApp to launch individual pieces of software from it as if they were running natively.
You are a live saver.
To be fair took way to long to add Bluetooth to my Debian 13 laptop.
The only thing stopping me from moving to Linux is the fact I want to play Battlefield 6 and Space Marine 2.
Space Marine 2 works just fine on Linux, I was just playing it last weekend. It has a gold rating on Protondb.
Kernel anticheat games can die in a fire, with all due respect to them.
I'll worry about them when I get through my backlog of games which grows faster than my completed game list.
I played Space Marine 2 on a steam deck. It wasn't the best experience but that was not because of linux.
That's what dual booting is for!
I'm super happy with Debian, but I still have to dual boot because of Solidworks π. Also Elegoo Satelite doesn't work too good with Wine.
I've gotten solidworks to work in a Windows 11 VM with decent performance. I use Virtual Machine Manager, which is a GUI that uses QEMU/KVM on the backend.
I used this guide for better performance, and it also resolved an issue where solidworks wouldn't install because it could tell it was in a VM.
25H2 is Microsoft's latest major release, featuring a refined interface, faster performance, enhanced security, and better hardware support. It's the most polished Windows 11 experience, making it ideal for virtual machines.
This is either the biggest load of horse manure ever vomited or a scathing indictment of the true quality of MS product. Either way, i am glad i don't need those instructions.
Sweet, thanks so much!
