Whew - all the things I'm missing having switched to Linux a couple years ago.

But now I had a new bug: Chrome would randomly lock up for about 30 seconds when a video was playing

First - I can't believe people still use Chrome. Second - Chrome has done shit like this for 10 years.

Homeboy here is a classic example of a frog boiling slowly. Glad he made it out.

Switched my Mom to Kubuntu from Windows 10. Haven't had any issues. The only windows software she used was an older version of Quicken but GNUCash wasn't too much for her to pickup. It's nice no longer having to rely on M$ for home computing.

As someone who hasn't used windows on my pc for a decade the thing the writer said about people "wanting to switch but looking for a reason not to" is so true. The same people have told me for years how much they want to switch but never do.

My windows install forced itself to update and then failed in the middle of the update completely cooking my entire system and leaving me with no option but to use their fresh install option which nuked everything but left my files in a zip. It was like perfect timing because i had just learnt about the existence of linux a months prior.

Nice! According to wikimedia stats, linux is already over 5% and growing! We can do it, people! We can take down microslops's os monopoly

Bazzite has been great so far, my only real issue has been fighting to get monado to work so I can get an old crappy mixed reality vr headset to work, mostly because its old and crappy and even windows gave up on supporting it so... I can't complain too much lol.

I switched to Bazzite last week. I was only using Windows for games anyway. Amazed how simple it was, everything ‘just worked’.

Appreciate that some multiplayer games won’t work, but Arc Raiders does and that’s all my group are playing at the moment.

Somehow I coped without an offer to subscribe to an office suite and cloud storage. Phew.
