TBH I much prefer to keep that kind of stuff in a VM so I can tear down or rebuild them from scratch.
Of course, I still have Windows as my primary OS, if for no other reason than I'm too lazy to deal with the inevitable driver wrangling. (Caveat: PuTTY into an Arch VM is my dev environment.)
- andrewshadura 10y agoDriver wrangling, seriously? I haven't had driver issues for ages, save for a few bits exotic and obsolete hardware (an ancient Creative webcam and an ancient PCMCIA Wi-Fi card).
- Shorel 10y agoI use Ubuntu as my primary OS because things like Bluetooth and ebook-reader detection are more reliable than in Windows. Particularly Bluetooth headphones have been a PITA under Windows 8 and 10. They work better with Ubuntu. However, my laptop has an Intel video card. I'm sure with an AMD or nVidia video card, using Linux can be more problematic.
