  • Hard to figure out.

    It’s much easier nowadays. I find Windows much more hard to figure out now that I’ve made the switch. At the very least, everything in Linux takes very few steps to perform tasks and install programs compared to Windows.

    Have to settle for similar but different apps.

    The sooner you do it, the faster you’ll be free. Once you do, you can be confident that said program won’t undergo enshitification since it’s open source. That said some apps can’t be replaced like Photoshop if it’s for work. I like Gimp, but I understand it’s not for everyone.

    Video drivers not built in.

    It pretty much is now if you install an Nvidia specific distro. AMD is preferable of course.

    Inconsistant bluetooth.

    Totally fair.

    Update all breaks everything.

    Use a rolling release distro like Debian or Fedora and you should be fine.

    Linux is not perfect, but it’s better than Windows. Nobody will force you to use your computer in a way you don’t want to. It’s so awesome and it’s free. There is no way I’ll ever go back to Windows. Linux is the ideal OS for so many people (especially those who go the extra mile to modify Windows heavily) they just don’t know it yet.








  • I don’t get people bringing Coca Cola when talking about a company fucking its consumer in the ass (here is a cock analogy for you, you seem to like those). Boycotting Coca Cola because it’s a company with terrible practices on their employees will probably not work because it doesn’t affect the consumer experience. It’s not like Coca Cola puts lead in its product or some shit that might affect the taste. Here the company reduces the quality of its product. For instance, boycotting Roku because they put ads in their HDMI cables that triggers when the user hits pause would probably work because it makes the experience shitty.

    If you think boycotting doesn’t work with gaming, you haven’t paid much attention recently.




  • Life used to be extremely bad for me mentally due to mental illness, traumas and a really bad life situation I thought would never change. I planned to kill myself several times in the past. Those plans weren’t abstract; I knew exaclty how I would do it.

    My head starts spinning when I think about how close I was to actually doing it. It spins because, while I have to deal with lots of bad stuff that sadly won’t ever go away, I certainly don’t want to kill myself today.

    I think you should consider the possibility that things might very well get better in the future even if it doesn’t seem like it right right now. Killing yourself is permanent. While you won’t be able to regret it, you very well might be grateful you didn’t do it. I sure am.
