Installing Linux is a walk in the park whereas windows is a Hilarious clown show from hell with no end.
As a server maybe. Switching everything on my desktop to Linux has been a constant fight against all kinds of problems and there's several things I haven't been able to get working at all. Microsoft's constant enshittification is closing the gap and it's currently a tossup between which one I'm going to land on but that's not Linux improving so much as Windows getting worse.
The nice thing about my view is that it doesn't preclude you from adhering to yours. Everyone can go exactly as fast as they want as long as they utilize the different lanes properly.
I will hit the same red lights at the same time as others, mind you I do notice when someone flies past me on the fast lane and we reach the same exit ramp stop light.
Maybe over a short distance you will. Even then they'd be at the front of the line instead of stuck behind who knows how many idiots that are going to be staring at their phone when the light switches and cause you to get stuck behind it for a second time.
I tested this on my car as well. I gain about 3 MPG by using the cruise control and adhering to the speed limit vs. Just driving how I want. It's not worth the difference. Changing to shitty tires was a bigger hit to my MPG than that.
It's fine that others don't share the same interests as me. I don't expect them to talk to me about them if they don't want to. We can sit in silence. That's nice too.
IDK what to tell you. I don't think of interesting conversations as small talk. That's not what I'm complaining about when I say I don't like small talk. What I think of as small talk is when people seem to have to run their mouths just to ruin a perfectly good silence with shit about the weather or sports or something. That's just how it is. If the conversation isn't going to go past small talk I'd be just as happy to not have it at all.
Maybe if you have a short commute. I can knock 15-20 minutes off my driving if traffic is light. That time is more valuable than the extra pennies I'd save on gas by driving slower. Why do you need the medal to tell you when you are pushing past 65? Just watch your speed.
Because a great deal of it isn't interesting. I have to listen to all the ancient dudes I sit next too talk about the most innane crap all day long. I don't need that when I get home too.
I can't explain it. I just don't like it.
Yea it's always annoyed me that despite having decades of improved hardware. Software has been running as shitty as ever since the 2010s. Like I still have to wait for things to open and close or tasks to complete even in simple shit like launching an application or browsing files. WTF.
If a civilization that has mastered FTL shows up we are fucked. The best odds for survival are jumping to their side because they could destroy us easily. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be a civilization of space amazons who want to use us for sex stuff.
That advice doesn't help much when I already have all the hardware. The whole point is not having to buy new shit.
