Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Used to do pop, currently manjaro, liked it a lot and might go for straight arch in the future.

A few nitpicks here and there, since I do gaming and general internet browsing, it's a hit or miss situation, but usually solving a problem means it won't be a headache in the future, unlike with windows. In general it's just tradeoffs, you get to brush off really stupid issues that pop up on windows for no good reason, but then compatibility (which afaik is actively worsened on purpose) becomes an issue with multiple elements that have to be circumvented individually, like the drm chip on my xbox controller or browser hardware acceleration.

My main reason is that I hate windows, but I'm progressively liking the concept of not being owned by the companies that make my software more and more.
