  • I was troubleshooting some audio hardware and decided that I should try it on windows, to make sure it was hardware and not software. So I tried to download an install disc image that I could put on my thumb drive and it was surprisingly hard, then I got driver failures, then I lost count of all the boxes I had to uncheck, then finally after like 2 hours I was greeted by ads on my desktop. Just a really bad experience overall. I cannot fathom why anyone uses that piece of crap.

    Anyway so I figured out it was a Linux problem because of course it was just plug-and-play on Windows, and I found my misconfiguration and fixed it in 10 seconds, and I thought about the tech literacy of the average person, and realized that is why people use windows. They don’t care about shit except least resistance. That was the first time I’ve booted windows since 2020 though, so here’s hoping it was the last time.

    I don’t hit my kids, I barely even yell. They’re the most well-behaved kids I know. Almost as though respecting your kids and spending time with them makes them happier? And maybe kids that feel respected act better? It’s a parenting problem. Youth are the future, we the parents decide what that future looks like.


















  • I used to have a Nvidia card when I started my Linux lifestyle. It wasn’t that big of a deal but a few things were broken especially with Wayland, which was hot garbage at the time. I switched to AMD for ideological reasons a couple years ago, but almost all of the problems had been resolved. I assume now only extreme edge cases would be a problem.

    As far as gaming, I used to use ProtonDB before every purchase but now I just assume shit will work with a few exceptions. I don’t play games that don’t run on Linux so im missing out on CoD and a few other competitive games, but on the whole I don’t care about those games anyway. I have hundreds of games in my library and they all run beautifully on Linux with no tinkering, I can’t even remember the last time I had to fix anything.

    Honestly it’s gotten boring, come to realize I actually prefer tinkering to actually playing games.
