I went from Windows to Mint, to Pop-OS, to EndeavourOS and haven’t left EOS.

My time with Mint and Pop were about a week each. I switch from Windows to Linux 2 years ago.

For my experience, jumping into Arch feet first has been a great learning experience. My desktop PC is a gaming PC first, so having the most up to date packages has been great. It’s helped ‘de-mystify’ Linux for me. I’ve had to troubleshoot issues, but thanks to Arch’s excellent and extensive documentation, with some light reading I’ve manages to make it work.

I’m now moving on to setting up my own Homelab/Server, which will NOT be Arch based (…unless…?), because the experience with learning how to navigate Linux with Arch has given me the confidence to tackle something I have absolutely no experience in (NETWORKING).

Fuck me, I now feel like a clown for taking advantage of that lifetime subscription I bought a couple of months back.

Deeply ironic that when this news broke I was in an urgent care out of network because I couldn’t get an appointment anywhere with my employer provided United Healthcare.

Oh well, anyway.

Great post, thanks for your effort on this.

You directly compared owning, customizing, and shooting a gun to the way a child would develop the ability to play a musical instrument. On this article about a 14 year old child being gifted a gun.

In the context of child development though? Nah lol. This is a very unserious argument.

Comparing a gun to a musical instrument is peak American lmao

The Xbox 360 controller wireless adpater was a pretty big piece of shit 70% of the time.

Look guys, you don’t need to justify your piracy. There is nothing ethically wrong with pirating media.

Anticonsumer practices are justification enough. If someone has a childish response of “uR sTeaLiNg!!”, give them an equally childish retort and tell them to eat your farts.

This is super helpful, thanks for this!

Windows 10 when I made the switch last summer. A full year now on EndeavorOS and I’ll never go back.

You’re a fucking troglodyte.
