I’ve been linux-curious on-and-off for years. I’ve toyed with it several times but always gone back to Windows eventually. I have a laptop with a 7th gen Intel CPU that is not supported on Windows 11, so I decided to wipe it and threw the latest version of Linux Mint on it. Everything (except for a fingerprint reader) worked straight out of the figurative box, and I’ve been happily running it on that machine for about 6 months now. I think Mint is a good choice if you want a simple windows-like experience.

I still have a desktop PC running Windows for games and Adobe Lightroom and stuff, but I won’t be going back to Windows on that laptop.

Hold on to them and sell them in the future when scarcity makes them valuable again.

Came here to post this too. Post-scarcity, nothing to go to war over, everyone’s comfortable.

Take off every zig.

I just want to see Bobby Fucking Kotick gone.

Elder millenial here. Grew up on Doom and Quake.

Part of my daily routine is to play Forza Horizon 5 while both listening to podcasts and working out on an elliptical machine every morning. I’m doing it on an Xbox, but it’s available on PC too. This kind of game is totally playable while listening to podcasts and still actually being able to follow what’s going on in the podcast.

I worry that when Gabe Newell eventually retires or dies that some MBA shitheads will take over Steam and then it’ll decline like so many other things lately :(
