Its an abusive relationship but its all you know and hard to leave. I'm on bazzite now with a Debian homelab on a SFF. Still really new to Linux but I'm trying. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (1 child) Good for you. If the way Windows behaves now doesn't drive people to Linux, they'll never jump. They'll just keep taking the abuse because they like it. I don't understand starting out on Linux in an immutable distro, but maybe that's the oldhead in me, I've been on Linux since the 90s. I find adding software in those distros to be a massive pain in the ass, as well as dealing with its constraints on configurability. But if it's working for you, fill your boots.

It's my web surfing gaming box. I got a Linux mint laptop to fuddle with as well. Thats where I break things. permalink fedilink source parent
