  • I dunno why I didn’t jump on the KDE train sooner, I think it’s default setup is already a better user experience than Windows 10/11, and doesn’t feel like I’m fighting against the desktop like with Gnome.

    The ease of tweaking even small things I really appreciate. Feels like an actual upgrade in the UI/UX space from what I’ve been used to from years of hacking together tweaks and programs on other desktops.






  • In my journey away from corpo bullshit into more open-source stuff and trying to pull my friends along, I’ve come to realize convenience is a hard drug to ween off.

    It’s almost impossible convincing some people to give up on cloud services because anything that’s more effort than logging into one account on a new device is too much. It’s not like these people are new to tech either, their patience has just been eroded over time by (usually invasive) convenience features.

    Also gonna state I don’t think making tech more convenient is a bad thing, doing so without encroaching on peoples privacy and freedom should be the goal.

    I think it’s Proton plus how un-userfriendly Windows has become, I know atleast 2 people who switched on their desktop because they could avoid Windows 11 while still playing their steam library, And handful a more who are looking into doing the same when Win10 goes EOL.


  • Been trying to switch to Linux but sadly back on Windows 10 after using Pop!_OS for the previous month. Half my issues were with the Nvidia and audio drivers the last one was my system randomly not booting and not letting me load a previous restore point I had saved on Timeshift.

    I still want to get on the Linux train since I’ve been unhappy with Windows since 8 and it’s just getting worse and worse. There was a lot of stuff I really liked about Linux from testing in it VMs and my month with Pop!_OS.
