When I was still a Linux noob I used to want to do all of the cool customizations and would often end up rendering the operating system unusable.

My primary desktop is Windows 11, but literally no other computer I personally own runs Windows. Part of it is games, part of it is proprietary software (music production, dj, etc). I could probably game on Linux full time, but until the commercial software situation is improved I will always have an additional Windows or Mac computer.

I eventually became obsessed with finding the best value for money mobile devices and bought way too many phones, laptops and computers.
Oof
