  • Download the Mint live CD and give it a shot!

  • I'm already rocking Manjaro, put my old windows boot drive in a box in case I need it for whatever reason.

  • Not to mention, windows 11's hardware requirements creating needles e-waste

  • Where's the money, Bukowski?

  • How did you get to that conclusion? Nothing of what I said was supporting their decisions.

  • If I ever meet the person who made that decision at UPS, I'll let them know they're wrong.

  • They want you to sign up for their payed premium preferred delivery options, which includes sending it straight to their depot.

  • Sex shouldn't be that exhausting, you should probably consult a doctor.

  • Funny enough, without life, your statement has no meaning.

  • My experience comes from previous attempts at using wireless headphones. It's just easier for me to plug in and not have to do literally anything else for a premium listing experience.

  • My bad, I meant their consumer grade stuff.

    I would generally agree with you on their cloud/server solutions. However, I do think AWS will get there some day.

  • Microsoft is almost good as dead. These days, Linux takes just as much maintenance as XP used to. They've got maybe 5 years left until laptops start shipping with alternatives to Windows. My bet is it's going to be SteamOS.

  • I just installed Manjaro on my daily driver over the weekend. My entire steam library just works. My dev tools all work(better) on Linux, and free office is nice and familiar. Fuck widows.

  • Huh, it's also tagged as such. But my God is it vapid.

  • Okay, I'll give you wsl2, and the "average user experience" being better, but Windows is losing its identity with the IT and customization front. For both destroying the win32 control panel and locking down the shell so you can no longer customize it.

    Somewhat ironically OSX recently added widgets to the desktop. Something Microsoft did years ago, removed it for no reason, and then added a flyout to tick almost the same check boxes.

    As for me, the spike in resource usage and over saturation of "AI" was enough for me to decide to jump ship.

    I'm currently attempting to daily drive Manjaro so maybe my opinion will change, but so far, it feels like home.

  • It's valid to feel disappointed. Windows 7 was really stable.

    My work still has a windows 7 machine with an uptime of something like 12 years.

    Windows 7 will idle in the low megabytes. But why does 11 want to use 6-8 Gigs on idle for no good reason?

    And it's not like there's that much difference between the two operating systems. One is just loaded up with electron wrappers and spyware

  • The way I see it, $HOME is for things I made. So I use ~/bin for my scripts

  • My point is if you're paying anyone, it should be the maintainers and members of an open source project. But I've seen people host many other high bandwidth things for free so who knows.

  • The people downvoting you probably weren't tuned in
