  • My mother is very happy now. Bonus points she doesn't call me up and have me dismiss the Microsoft upsell every other update.

    She says she doesn't want to break anything but I think she wants me to do it so she doesn't have to give it a nanosecond of a thought. Also she doesn't throw a fit every time she has to wait for updates to finish anymore!

  • The only reason that WSL exists is because Windows sucks for software development. I had more fun developing software on macOS and that has its own problems.

    I don't mean any offense, it's so much more work to get that stuff set up on Windows if you don't use Visual Studio or any of the other IDE that automated setup. On Linux or Macos it either comes with it or you install it with one command or file, no fuss no install wizard that takes forever no weird setup process.

  • I thought it was weird but I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. At first I was thinking does Spain call it's currency pesos but then I noticed you specified Mexican pesos. My mind then jumped to the conflicts that are ongoing in central America.

    The US turns down tons of refugees seeking shelter and the Mexican government offers virtually no help either. I thought it was possible France took refugees like we do with certain conflicts half way across the world. Often depends on how much the general population cares and if our military is active in the area.

    The American dollar is the only currency accepted in America but France being a European country would be more accustomed to accepting foreign currency if needed I assume.

    All speculation but forgive me for my arrogance.

  • I was making a joke at the expense of Americans like me but couldn't find a map with the US surrounded with water. It's neat that pesos are used in France.

    Yeah, the American dream companies trying to raise prices as much as consumers can suffer and blaming inflation on it. Thanks rural America mostly only having Walmart and maybe a local chain if your lucky 👍😅

  • I dunno but I really was chasing after that pixel response time. The more accurate the pixel draw and the lower the latency the less of a headache I get from playing games. I'm incredibly happy with my OLED though big upgrade from an IPS.

    I thought the va panel looked a little nicer but made me real sick feeling with the pixel overshooting and the trails every time the camera moved. Smooth scrolling text in some cases were really tough too on VA.

  • I was just having fun with it. It really took a lot to make me switch to Linux in reality. For me anyway it was more the better polish from wayland and the ability to play games that made me finally switch. All my tools were already there which I understand most people can't say.

    I never liked windows much after 7. Mostly used it like a flathead screwdriver, I curse when I have to use it over a Philips (slippery lil fuckers) but it's the first tool I grab when I need a pry tool because it's always there. I have like five of those damn things in my drawer and a few more in my toolbox.

  • To be fair I never downloaded 20 sketchy looking zip files from some ODM manufacture website just to get my hardware working. I also didn't need to reboot my computer 40 times while installing drivers, software, and updates.

    I didn't have my motherboard, mouse, and fan controller auto install junky apps that never works and advertised new products constantly. I didn't have to try to uninstall adware just to find out you can't uninstall half of it. I didn't have to Google some esoteric regedit voodo just to add features back or disable anti-features.

    I don't get full screen ads for OneDrive and office 365 begging me to switch to a Microsoft account every other update. I don't have to go to each and every manufacturers website to search for updates. Or create an account, login to it, and have it run in the background 247 just to not work when an update needs to be applied.

    Have windows install updates in the background while playing games, or doing CPU intensive tasks like transcoding / video editing(often crashing the application).

    Having to use the terminal on my Linux install every once in a blue moon crosses the line though. I might switch to windows and deal with all that instead.😂

  • I can't wait to throw it on my laptop. I hope the tiling is highly customizable because I need something I can throw on a laptop, not update in a while and still have it not break when I finally do.

    I like Hyperland but it does break the config every once and a while.
