  • I use Linux for personal use, and Ive been using windows for work due to necessity.

    There is one app I need that does not support Linux. I contacted their support asking about a Linux version and they suggested using waysroid to run the android version of the app.

    So, when I have free time I’m working on switching things over.

    My main motivation is Microsoft pushing ads everywhere and being aggressive about using online accounts and stuff that like.

    I wish I didn’t have such a dependence on coffee. I’m about to go on a trip and am brining instant coffee with me to the airport in case the shops are closed during my early flight and I’m not able to get coffee until after checking in which is like an hour and a half from the airport.

    As a side note, I’m in a third world country and going to an island. They will totally have coffee there, but i might not have access until later in the day.



  • To any Linux curious users,

    I consider myself to be an intermediate Linux user. I have hosted applications and services on Linux servers in the cloud and use it as my primary operating system. I recommend Linux Mint. If you have an nvidia GPU, then I recommend PopOS as they have a version that has nvidia drivers pre-installed.

    When I first started with Linux, I thought that Mint was less capable than other distros as it was the most user friendly. But I learned that you can do anything you want with any Linux distro. It is just that Mint is the least likely to give you trouble with random things.

    With that all being said, you will have far fewer issues with Linux than you will with Windows.

    Additionally, you can get legit troubleshooting steps for linux that actually work. With Windows it seems that there are 100 ways to possibly fix an issue and they feel like patching a sinking boat.
