go for fucking broke and get rid of windows before it goes SaaS. it’s less painful than it sounds because daily driving linux will break your brain’s ability to feel pain
In the caverns of systemd, where the audio pulses and you are surrounded by the mad scribings of a thousand journals; you will lose yourself, and find something else. You will come back both more, and less.
i tried using windows for a week when i was without my own laptop and had to borrow the loved one’s spare gaming rig. even just living in firefox, i hate windows with the fire of a thousand suns. and this was a relatively well behaved win10.
My wife uses windows and sometimes I dual boot it to play games with her.
She laughs at how rapidly I transform into a raging boomer but I forgive her for she does not know.
Linux has problems but windows is just fucked up. The moment you want to do anything outside the lines it becomes an utter horror show. no univeral interface (I’m stupid, you can tell by my posts, so I just learn CLI and do everything that way), no nice consistent model like “everything is a file”, no scripting language everything respects. It’s insane and baffling.
I know Microsoft has brilliant people working for them so windows is inexplicable
don’t worry about losing yourself though - everything defaults to ext4 and the ubuntu devs have pinkypromised that it’s no longer totally awful dogshit that you regretfully notice only after some time and you’ve loaded significant data onto the system
it’s fine and I use it for extremely performance-focused (see: linux gaming) and embedded systems, but LVM+ext4 is generally a better idea and I use ZFS for systems where extreme reliability and storage flexibility are important (so just my NAS machine really)
This year so far I’ve deleted Reddit, twitter and now google.

what’s wrong with ext4? I’m stupid and use it for everything. Should I not?
