Windows 10 was actually ok when you got past some of the awful stuff. Nowhere as good as 7, but it did the job for me for years.

Windows 11 got announced though and I immediately switched to Linux lol.

Btrfs my beloved. Things stop working? Just load a snapshot lol.

Technically linux users need third party tools to even boot into a usable OS.

I have never really seen arch or gentoo unironically pitched to new users. However, I have seen new users try to use arch because they didn’t get the joke.

I see more posts complaining about annoying arch users than I actually see annoying arch users

That being said, hell yeah mint

Can’t think of the most difficult problem, but I have managed to solve a lot of problems with btrfs snapshots.

VR pretty much just worked for me with my vive. Had some issues with weird stuttering and tearing but I managed to find a solution in some config file.

For the longest time I just thought he was that one guy from modern family.

I do actually need nvidia for blender since AMD raytracing support is still a work in progress for it.

As soon as it’s stable, works on linux, and a mid-range AMD card performs as well as my 3060 though I’m absolutely jumping to AMD.

I didn’t know that. Maybe nvme hasn’t been added to the standard yet then.

Well it’s sdx because they both use the SATA interface. The sdx convention actually comes from scsi though, and the fact that SATA and USB drives use it might point to some code reuse, or maybe a temporary solution that never got fixed due to breaking backwards compatibility.

Fun fact: IDE drives use the hdx naming convention.

This actually happened to me not too long ago. Things would randomly just crash. Turns out it was because my RAM had bad sectors in it.

On linux I’d just restart whatever crashed and it usually went along fine for another 30 minutes. Worst that happened was btrfs would make my drive readonly until a reboot because it knew some shit was up.

On windows it bluescreened several times before corrupting the hard drive (was thankfully able to recover it lol)

What’s this about chaotic being unsafe?

I just use btrfs and snapper.
