Queen, news of the world tour, opening with "we will rock you". Second is ELO and Kansas with a deadly laser light show. Nothing else has come close. I am old.
It's because out of the box there's often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it's been fine ever since then.
Pwobably
Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It's been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it's all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining "feature" update, I really doubt I'll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I'm just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.
Same as you, in IT forever, ...I switched, and I'm never going back. It's fast, and it's brought the joy back for me. Nvidia needs to do better, but that was the only difficulty I had.
Thanks, can we also kill off copilot before it arrives uninvited?
I've been a customer for decades, including large format, and my newish HP is waiting to be recycled. It's print quality wasn't great, and the HP ink I bought that worked well for months stopped working due to what must be a chip error. Who has time for that nonsense? I won't even sell it, I don't want to push the misery on someone else.
So far for me, games are running faster on Linux than win11. I've gone over a month without booting widows now.
Jokes on you buddy, I've ditched my HP printers because of this nonsense. They literally locked me out of a printer all of a sudden after an update, deciding my cartridge bought from HP was no longer valid. Not to mention, just sitting there the inks use themselves up, I'm guessing just drying out from crappy design.
Building this into the OS is clearly unnecessary, there's obviously another motive here...sweet user behavior data?
If you use vscode, you might look at the thunderclient extension.
I installed mint on my second PC, and it's great. I feel like migrating my main, but I'm not sure it would go smoothly. I've had a lot of issues with my four months old Ubuntu install, lately the keyboard is nonfunctional at the login screen about half the time. Snaps are another reason making me want to leave it behind.
