Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?

Jump

  • Rocket League on steam proton. It was choppy on Mint. Ubuntu wasn't bad, but when I alt tabbed everything slowed down.

    steam deck was a fucker to set up with some github alternative.

    Lastly my hdmi to 5.1 reciever kept showing as an extra monitor, which couldnt be mirrored or disabled. That was enough to call it for me.

  • I tried it just last month for a whole week before I ditched it back for Windows. Its just not ready for serious gamers. I am very anti microsoft so when it is ready, I will happily make the switch.

  • Different needs, different hardware, different skill levels. My kindergarten kids used it for 2 years for school, no problem. I still don't use it because its too rough for my advanced needs.

    • Permanently Deleted

    • What's a single player PC game you can't get enough of?

  • Rimworld - 2000 hours so far. I'm not done yet. The mod community and periodic dlc keep it alive for me.

    • I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

  • Ok i avoided replying to this for long enough. Based on your requirements, I'm making the following recommendations:

    • Nutrient-rich meal replacement bars: These bars are designed to provide a balanced mix of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) and essential vitamins and minerals. They are often fortified to meet nutritional needs, making them a convenient and space-saving option. However, they should not be relied upon as the sole source of nutrition for an extended period of time.
    • Dried fruits and nuts: Dried fruits are a concentrated source of natural sugars, fiber, and some essential nutrients. They provide energy and can help satisfy hunger. Nuts, on the other hand, are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They offer satiety and provide a range of beneficial nutrients.
    • Jerky: Jerky, typically made from lean meats, is a good source of protein and can provide energy. It is compact, lightweight, and doesn't require refrigeration. Be mindful of the sodium content.
    • Meal replacement shakes: These shakes are formulated to provide a balance of macronutrients and essential micronutrients. They often contain protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, and a blend of vitamins and minerals. They are easy to consume and require minimal preparation.
    • Energy gels: Energy gels are designed to provide quick energy in the form of simple carbohydrates. They are often used by athletes during intense physical activities. While they offer a rapid energy boost, they do not provide substantial nutrients beyond carbohydrates.

  • Thank you to everyone's support. I did not expect as much support as you all provided. I'm happy to announce a huge success! Ubuntu is installed, I've overcome several hurdles, and have a few more to go. I'll try to post in next week to summarize my progress and challenges.

    • Tips for camping with toddlers?

    • No tech, let them be bored at first, then find better, outdoor things to do.
    • Mine hate bugs, dining tent was a win.
    • Middle of the night bathroom walks suck. Portapotty ftw!
    • Beach toys/stuff
    • Smores around the fire
    • Bikes for exploring
