    Lol yeah fair point.

    My main concern was that a fair amount of people tend to customize their windows install into oblivion and end up loosing their data. Did it myself before I learned my lesson 😅

    Took me a while to realise Linux was the solution all my issues, been very happy since! But ofc, whatever works for you is good enough, sounds like u know what you’re doing.

      I have rainmeter and wallpaper engine, but those things are so unreliable resource hogs and old, that, while neat, aren’t worth spending any emotional energy on. But again, I have, mostly just to see the limits of the thing, and have some nifty tools out of them. I wouldn’t be that beat up if I lost them at this point, and probably wouldn’t install them again unless great strides were made in the underlying tech and efficiency. But brute force pinging stuff that wasn’t made to be pinged ten times a second is just… Maybe in the future, core systems will have data i/o just for this sort of stuff XD who am I kidding?

      Linux would definitely solve some of my issues, but introduce like a million others. It’s just an os (or rather, a variety of versions of an os), just like mac or windows. I hold no zeal for any, and do know in my heart that someday, I’ll likely switch to Linux and put forth the energy. But I’m not that young anymore and there are things I have to do, mountains to climb, grass to feel, people to taste, politics to survive, teeth to brush, all kinds of mortality to fight, shows to watch, music to make, parents to try to love before they’re gone, siblings to fix, friends to make, places to go… Linux is pretty far down that list.

      It’s on the list, just… Not that high. Higher than MacOS hahaha
