I will likely go back to mint once Windows 10 is done. 11 is pure trash.

The major hang up I have is gaming. I have an Nvidia card and it’s never behaved well with Linux. I also like GTAO but I will no longer be able to play it. Most of my other titles work fine.

I don’t know what I’m going to do yet.

I make my company 100-200k a month. I make around 4k a month. No performance bonus, nothing.

Meanwhile the higher ups that do bare minimum are raking it all in. I love our society.

I will admit the biggest issue with Lemmy is the lack of discussion. I blame that on the multiple threads of the same post on different instances/communities.

This was peak windows.

I’m an electrician, a lot of people assume electricians are lighting specialist. We are not.

I have lighting vendors calculate photometrics for commercial jobs and I do what is common sense for residential.

I’ll try endeavor next time.

If I can get overwatch and steam games to work, I would leave Windows in a heart beat. But I’m also at the point in my life where I can’t spend hours troubleshooting.

Well now you have me wanting to try it again.

The main issue I’ve been having is getting two monitors to work.

Install Linux, one monitor works. Let’s try changing the driver, permanent black screen.

Reinstall Linux, well maybe I can make one monitor work. Nope. Let’s try and change the driver using the terminal. Oh black screen again.

Ok I’ll only use Linux for coding on one monitor, Windows update somehow lost the boot loader for Linux. I’m not good on grub so I just removed Linux afterwards.

I have another older computer, still Nvidia. Let’s do a clean install. No windows, just Linux. Configure proton on steam, hmm it doesn’t launch games. It just says starting then nothing. No errors. Let’s try different compatibilities, still no errors.

What I experienced is, Linux doesn’t tell you what You’re doing wrong, it just doesn’t work. Which isn’t going to work for the majority of computer users.

If something is having an issue, I want to know why, which unfortunately and fortunately Windows does a good job on.

I ended up joining the trades. It wasn’t fun but I got to a position I can tolerate.

When I graduated, I had no clue what I was going to do with my life. Still don’t. It’s been 15 years.

I’m not sure how I feel.

If my Nvidia graphics card played nicely, I would.

It’s my #1 complaint with Linux… Well Nvidia.

I updated my graphics card. Twice. On two different systems. Nvidia sucks. Both times resulted in reinstalling Linux entirely.

Unfortunately I use Nvidia. Now I know Nvidia isn’t good for Linux but wasn’t when I planned on using it.

Which doesn’t work, thanks. I wish it did.

Unfortunately, I have multiple Nvidia cards. That’s the issue. My Linux machines don’t use Windows, at all.

Because it’s still an issue.

Linux is great until you want to update your graphics card or play games. Sure it has gotten much better, but you can’t deny it’s a massive hassle for the majority of new users.

I didn’t realize how hostile the Linux community is. I have an Nvidia card and I’ve never had a pleasant experience trying to make it work.

This. Holy shit is it frustrating to click a pixel wide scroll bar that is on the edge between two monitors. It’s even worse when they disappear.

I’m using boost, why do piped Links never work?

I ate at McDonald’s for the first time in a few years. The same meal I used to get on the go now costs over 100% more since before 2020. The only reason I went to McDonald’s was because it was cheap, not because it was good. I don’t think I’ll ever go again.
