In one year I have had exactly zero issues with Linux. In the same time, my brother had OS-breaking bugs happen twice from driver updates with Windows... Once from the GPU, and the other from a CPU firmware update.

You don't have to switch to Linux. That's OK. Just realize that you are simultaneously ok with making yourself a harvestable resource that Microsoft and others are milking dry.

I'm pretty sure a YouTube channel researched this one pretty thoroughly. Try checking out the Why Files. The entire channel is fascinating, intertwining, and informative.

What about women who don't have any embryos stored, but have functioning ovaries? They should be claiming about 6 million dependents, right?

If System76 doesn't get some movement on Cosmic soon I'm going to have to jump ship to KDE. This shit looks awesome.

Hogwarts via steam's proton runs flawlessly.

Same. I've found Minneapolis to be fairly good too, but I only visit occasionally for work.

You say this pocket dimension connects to the internet, a la Matrix? I'd create a game with an in-game currency that looks the same as ours, and give it the same physical properties in-game as the real currency is for the region I'm in. I then would define that I am a billionaire with a bank account to match. I teleport in, withdraw my money in cash one suitcase at a time from the ATM that has an infinite cash supply, and then teleport out.

 

I've been daily driving Pop!_OS for about two years. I've had to troubleshoot and look up how to solve problems here and there, but it has largely been pain free. About eight months ago I had to dual boot Windows 10 because my wife wanted to play Hogwarts and for the life of me I couldn't get Linux to stream to the client connected to the Xbox controller and TV upstairs.

Well, today she goes to boot up the game, and the lag is beyond terrible. None of the settings I try change anything, and even trying Sunshine/moonlight instead of Steam Link is only a bit better. I decided to try booting the game in Linux, and lo and behold, the game is once again liquid smooth via Steam Link client, and whatever issues I ran into 8 months ago are gone.

I'm not used to Windows being the OS I have issues with.
