My backup is begging my computer to implode so I can experience the sweet relief of getting offline.

But also I use external discs and make copies of important files I can’t recreate. Don’t care too much about config as I am happy enough to distro hop and set things up anew.

But actually hexbear does need a future Squidward. We’ve got others but we need future

I started my Linux time on a 1080 and never really had issues. Never really knew I supposed to haha. Now on a AMD card that works great but actually took a bit more setup for myself to make work perfectly.

So who knows

Ya prob similar. Someday I wanna measure but I’d have to get some tool for that. How do you measure?

Currently my server is at 1.5 TiB uploaded since last restart. Always on lol. I wonder how badly it impacts my energy bill. I just have a 1gig unlimited data connection. Figure I oughta use it haha . And yes obvious iso and open src software and the like.

I gotta get my new 20tb disk installed

Absolutely. Once you spend just a bit of time figuring out how config files work suddenly fixing problems on and maintaining your Linux system is far easier than windows. Not hidden behind layers of bad UI that doesn’t work. Just edit the file. Restart the process.

My next build as it stands will be AMD. of course who knows what will be good by the time I get to do that.

Ya that’s about right. Next step is from that live Linux disc install Linux.

No I’ll never deny that. Some things do only work in very specific environments. I’ll also never pretend learning is a task with zero effort or that everyone is interested in doing. What bugs me is when people are dishonest about it. Linux is not impossibly difficult to use nor is Windows a sublime user experience with no friction.

Anticheat though ya that’s fucked. Hate that. I’ll admit I have a Windows partition solely for playing the few games that require it. Though haven’t booted it in a year or so.

I quit windows after I spent a few hours trying to get permission to delete a file I knew I didn’t need but but windows just refused to allow even admin accounts to touch. Had to dig so deep into windows settings.

Won’t deny luck is involved. Everytime I turn any piece of technology on im amazed it works at all considering the fact it’s all a cobbled together mess.

It definitely is ya. I use mac for work and that shit sucks

There’s this thing I notice. If windows asks you to learn something or put up with some BS it’s seen as the cost of business, reasonable, or simply not even noticed. If Linux requires you to learn something, like read one article about which distro might work best for you, it’s seen as an insurmountable difficulty or an absurd ask.

People say that Nvidia just doesn’t work right on Linux. I’d never know that except for everyone saying it. My desktop has Nvidia and all Linux distro I’ve tried on it are like perfectly fine. Yes for gaming also.

The first thing I installed windows on was an discarded office tower that I had to put new memory And hard drives in. Shit was ancient and specifically did not want anything but windows installed on it. Installed Linux anyway. Works great. No specific hardware

Got a Nvidia card. Never had a issue on Linux.
