  • Yes I know. I envision myself in a mercurial state Yanking the usb out as soon as I have driver issues. Making a partition for an install will take more work to undo, nudging me to commit to the change that I think will ultimately be beneficial.

    If this sounds crazy, this is the kind of tortured process I go through on a daily basis to try to outsmart and tame my future self.






  • I can’t wait to spend weeks trying to get my 10yr old scanner, my 4 yr old stream deck, my specialized proprietary keyboard mapping software, my almost unheard of cad software to work. Don’t get me started on doing it on my laptop.

    Don’t get me wrong. Windows is going nowhere, and Im sure I’ll throw in the towel eventually. I know it’s gotten a little better than when I last tried it a few years ago, but I know its going to be painful, involve compromises, and probably some cash on forced hardware changes. People pretending like the switch is easy for power users with specialized hardware are full of lies.
