which is why "I'm out" after 20 years or so on Windows.
I don't want an OS that sends me messages like that, supports adverts, or (initially at least) demands to be always connected to the internet to store my "stuff" in their cloud.
I haven't booted into Windows for (checks `uptime`) about 4 weeks now.
- Rd6n6 5y agoI use windows for affinity suite and unreal 4 and I think that’s it. About half my gaming needs windows too. Everything else is Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a great OS, it’s just missing a few apps (mostly graphics related) that certain people need for their work
- Arisaka1 5y agoI worked in IT for 10 years, and most of the time I had to work with Windows even in the server. I was also a gamer who played 3-4 hours a day. I switched to Arch Linux and, outside of the few pain points which weren't a big deal for anyone who's used to "google, read docs, apply" workflow everything went great! I would be hopeful for the future of gaming on Linux, and then you see things like kernel-level anti-cheating and Valorant adapting their anti-cheat to support TPM 2.0. I'm not a gamer anymore (at least not as much as I used to play) but stuff like that make me shrug my shoulders. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
