Linux mostly works. It's both fun and frustrating learning how to operate it. There's only a couple things I can't get to work on Linux which is annoying, but much less annoying than having to deal with MS.

The logic I always subscribe to is, issues in Linux can be fixed maybe not by you or me but someone at some point in the future. On a long enough timeline we win. Where as it's not an issue with Windows, but a business decision to annoy you and thus can never be fixed.

It's been like that for 20 years though. This is the future and it still isn't ready

[–] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 14 points 8 months ago

I've been daily driving it for 10 years, what's the problem with it?

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I haven't used windows for 15 years, minimum

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Because you've been trying to find drivers that work 😂😂

[–] metaldream@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's so much better than it used to be though. There's been a lot of real progress and there's more interest than ever in creating a viable Linux consumer-grade desktop among foss developers and even corporations.

I'll grant you it's definitely not there yet for non-techies. But I do think we'll get there eventually and I wouldn't have said that 5 years ago.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

honestly I think it's 95% there and would get that last 4% if you could go to a retail store and just buy one. the perception would be enough to get hardware and software vendors to start supporting it in a very short time. kinda like how cyberpunk has a steam deck present.

Would it be over night? No but real change is never quick. Perception has to change before the change happens. Why do you think MS and other Software vendors pays so much money to PC manufacturers to stay on Windows.

Remember with a windows PC purchase and bloatware. You're a customer and a product, your desktop is a billboard. So it's against their interest to give you agency in what OS you use.

This should be emblazoned somewhere in the initial Linux setup. I'm not in tech by trade, just a hobbyist nerd, and playing with Linux is like if a soulslike game were an OS. I had a terrible time figuring out how to get both monitors to work but eventually did and that felt like a huge win when it finally happened. Had an equally bad time trying to figure out how to install some game software but finally got that sorted and it felt like another big victory. But I still dual boot for now because some days I'm just not ready for the heartburn of dealing with my own ignorance in Linux

For me, Linux recreates the exhilaration of 1990s MsDOS: will this setting, that I really don't understand, make my game work or just render my whole system unusable?

I really want to play this awesome new game called Syndicate...

What's the worst that can happen? Reformat for a 4th time this week?

y/n?

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I agree but with timeshift im able to be back up and running in 5 mins tops so I take more risks.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

At some point Lemmy is going to track me down and murder me because I’m only running Linux on home automation and media servers, not my daily drivers.

[–] UnityDevice@startrek.website 5 points 8 months ago

Linux and a windows virtual machine with a dedicated nvme hard drive and GPU using PCI pass-through. Windows is boxed in but easily accessed when you need it, and the performance is 95% of native, or more. And because of the dedicated hard drive, you can still dual-boot it like normal if you want.

Also, I recommend installing windows 10 enterprise in the VM, minimal bloat.
