  • I’ve found that 90% of users probably wouldn’t have a difficult time using Linux as their new OS. The problems usually show up when needing to use terminal or when specific software companies don’t support Linux.

    The average user that just browses the internet and uses basic office apps most likely wouldn’t have any issues.

    Find an old PC lying around your home swap the drive out or create a separate partition, there are plenty of YouTube videos out there. Worst case you waste an afternoon.


  • I get that there are different Distros and that having options is great, but it’s a double edged sword. It also means that things get more complicated and some get more support than others.

    If I commit to Linux then my whole house will switch to that Distro because I don’t have time to figure and support >4 PCs with similar but different OSs.

    Autocad - for work

    Photoshop - for work

    Getting more software companies to support.

    Make the terminal easier to use. I don’t use it often but when I do I waste an average of 15min just trying to find a guide or wiki. A help file or built in guide would be nice

    Everyone that uses Linux, expects you to be a Linux expert

    Steam is great but a native GOG app would be nice. Instead of Herolauncher

    Anti cheat support from games

    Hardware support. Just finding drivers for peripherals is sometimes more trouble than it’s worth

    Generally make it more inviting to new users

    More support for WINE and Proton


  • I haven’t experienced any bugs that I can recall, but I was disappointed with Death Stranding too.

    I was so hyped up because I love the Metal Gear Solid games so when I heard that Kojima was creating a new IP and it was going to have a great cast of actors supporting it and it was based on a post apocalyptic world where ghosts are attacking people, I was vibrating with excitement.

    Then I found out that it’s a walking simulator about delivering packages.

    Ok, maybe it’s still good?

    Well it’s all good and great in some ways and check off almost all of the boxes you would expect from a AAA game, except one. It’s just not fun or relaxing or challenging or interesting. I put it down halfway through and I can’t remember who/what/where/why, so now I have to start over or be lost.

    It’s just so damn tedious and there’s no sense of satisfaction. Tedious is work and I get plenty of that at work.



  • The thing that’s driving me away from windows is how pushy it’s gotten. Forced updates, ads, AI, OneDrive, and subscriptions. I just want to be able to turn on MY computer and do what I want or need without having my guard up that I can’t trust my home PC with my privacy.

    Windows 11 is ok, but is frustrating to use and I can’t trust it not to screw with settings and there seems to be something annoying added instead of something useful with every update. I also hate the Settings menu, it’s like an unhelpful layer between you and Control Panel the eventually will take you to the same place but took 5 more clicks and searching through drop downs for a link to what you needed.
