I hate PCGamer's website. Everytime I get partway through an article, a pop-up shows asking me to sign up to their newsletter. Now the pop-up alone would turn me off of their website, but what happens is the pop-up scrolls the article all the way back to the top of the page. So I completely lose my reading position.

PCGamer isn't the only site to do this, but I think it's one of the more popular ones that do.

The other thing that sites do now that earns an instant DNS block on my pihole, is capturing the back action that prevents leaving the site to show a pop-up that says "wait, before you go, check out these other articles" or something along those lines. HELL.... NO!

This person's writing style is, frankly, well, pretty obnoxious.

I'll go ahead and share my experience with Mint so far. Gaming worked mostly fine which is pleasing.

I couldn't get many basic features working correctly for my dual monitor set up. Even after putting in the time to research.

I couldn't get multiple proprietary programs to work for my job.

The customization in settings is extremely limited.

I have to mess around with complex terminal commands I do not fully understand every time I need to do something more than use my browser.

I will try another distro this year, but it is definitely not a foolproof experience.

A lot of things Windows does easily, I took for granted.

Made the switch during Christmas to Cachyos. I am extremely glad I did, and so relieved to finally be free of Microsofts clammy grasp.

I already stopped playing online competitive games long ago, so the anti-cheat thing isn't really a problem for me. All the games I want to play works fine, even better in fact than they did on Windows.

Made the switch to Ubuntu in 2019. The only time I use windows is at work, sadly, but in my main computer, that malware hasn't been installed for years

I am on Linux and never looking back to Windows (except if I have to use Microsoft Teams for interviews).

Wow. So brave.

I've been gaming on Linux mostly if not entirely full time since 2014. Back when you had to look to see if there was a Steam icon alongside the Windows and sometimes Apple logo because Proton wasn't the "everything works" magic it is now.

Anyone complaining about the state of Linux today look like diaper shitting babies. "WAAAH! My privacy invading rootkit requiring multiplayer CoD Fortnite meme slop sippy cup game is specifically designed to not run on Linux. WAAAAH!" Yeah, I remember when hair didn't grow near my genitals too, but then I stopped acknowledging any of my feelings in public except anger and pretended to like beer out of sheer force of peer pressure, and thus became a fully grown man by the standards of my culture. Get on my level.

What were we talking about?

...except this is an ableist lie.

our university put linux mint on all the desktop computers this year.
