Windows 11 was what finally forced me over to linux for good, no more dual booting. I know it sounds strange, but the straw that broke its back was the taskbar. I have an ultrawide monitor, so I ALWAYS have the taskbar vertical on a side. It makes zero sense to have it at the bottom. Massive waste of space. Windows 11 DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE TASKBAR. I was flabbergasted. This is a feature that has existed for decades in every OS. I just couldn’t comprehend the stupidity, so I just didn’t. Formatted the drive and went to Arch, then to Tumbleweed. Couldn’t be happier.

fuck this fucking guy so hard. The fact that he’s been able to UP UNTIL NOW spend all his time in the lap of luxury in palo alto is a disgrace.

I’m amazed they haven’t already. I suppose it was baked in super hard from the very beginning so divorcing from it now must be a huge task.

It does I think, not as much as it used to but every now and then I find good articles on there I wouldn’t have found elsewhere. For me, it’s worth a quick glance.

For tech I have Ars, Phoronix, TomsHardware, Slashdot. I feel that covers a lot and keeps me up to date.

Another vote for the proton services. Been with them for years and very happy.

Pretty much. Pop is my go-to recommendation for pretty much anyone these days. It’s so well polished and just easy.

Oof, the most recent news posting is “entering alpha phase” which is a big no thanks for me. In addition, the main descriptive sentence says “It aims to be clean and usable while addressing the various shortcomings of an average Linux distribution.” But then doesn’t explain that. What does it consider to be shortcomings of an average distro?
