  • This is wonderful news!

    I’ve been using Linux full time for around 3 or 4 years. I just bought a Legion Go handheld gaming PC, which comes with Windows.

    I knew before I bought it that I was going to load Linux on it instead, but decided to check out the Windows experience a little out of curiosity first. Holy fucking shit, it was a shitshow. A buggy mess and terrible experience .

    And you hang out in the online communities for devices like this and you will see even totally nontechnical users who have no dog in the fight for a Linux bias are still vastly preferring the Linux experience. This is completely unprecedented.

    Anticheat is the only thing Microsoft has ‘‘going for them’’’ if you can even put it that way. Really starts to feel like Windows is toast.







  • I was no fan of Ubuntu. It made me think about the OS nonstop.

    Why is Firefox taking like 8 seconds to load the first time I run it? Much slower than Windows.

    Why do all of my PPA packages break for months straight after a major OS update?

    Why is my CPU using 100% of a core when I connect my Xbox controller? Turns out that was a bug in libusb that had been fixed OVER A YEAR AGO but Ubuntu’s packages were so terribly out of date I couldn’t have the fix yet. That was the last straw.

    Moved to OpenSUSE and never looked back. My system is basically pristine now.
