    After a day at work, forced to use mac, I just have to start my linux machine, even if I do not have anything to do on it, just to feel sane again.

    First thing I noticed about this photo is that she’s holding her hair away from the ground while putting her mouth right on it. I’m not sure why but that seems funny to me.

    Genuinely, the more I use Linux the more slow and clunky windows feels. Also I’m a power user, when you install custom apps on windows it FEELS bloated, it’s like “you didn’t do this the WINDOWS way, so it’s clunky” meanwhile on Linux it’s like “yeah man it’s open just plug in whatever” and it JUST WORKS

    bought one of the new snapdragon x elite laptops recently. obviously it came with windows 11 and i had to briefly use it to shrink the boot partition and disable bitlocker so i could install the ubuntu concept image on it.

    The amount of advertising i was subjected to in that time was infuriating. not to mention the frankly arduous setup wizard.

    Even with the slight bugginess of a “concept image” OS, the user experience is SOOOO much better than shitty horrible windows.

    I had to click 4 times over 90 seconds on “sleep” on my work laptop windows 11 machine today before it actually did anything.

    A meme can’t be more right.

    10 years ago I wouldn’t have imagined this, but this is me every time I have to use Windows (e.g., occasionally for work) or help someone else with it.

      Same. I just switched a few months back. My laptop runs cool and quiet on Linux. When I need to boot to Windows, I hear that poor cooling fan laboring even when Windows is idle, plus everything is much slower and poorly organized. Why does my context menu have 14 selections?! Going back to Linux feels like coming home.

    I find it hard to understand how people are able to kiss the ground without the thought getting in their mind that - someone probably spat/pissed in that place not too long ago.

      did you try and use Arch?

      i’ve only ever had to fuck around with wifi drivers when installing Arch

      Everytime i’ve installed ubuntu on a laptop it’s worked fine out of the box, including on the same laptop i had to fuck around with drivers on for Arch

          i settled on Manjaro in the end for my desktop PCs. it has the flexibility of Arch including use of the AUR but i don’t have to put much effort into setting it up

        No, but apparently I have one of the only WiFi/Bluetooth chip of MediaTek Corps. MT Series that is inexplicably not supported. Most others of that lineup are, just this exact one isn’t.

          i learned from my recent incursion into setting up a concept ubuntu build for snapdragon laptops that you can pull binaries from the windows partition to make the wifi drivers work

    I switch back to it to play half life alyx which I borrowed, otherwise usually it’s sitting in a virtual machine (its corner)
