So glad I ditched Windows last year. I tried dual booting for a bit, but the number of things that broke in Windows was ridiculous.

It’s wild how much the reliability of Windows and Linux has flipped.

I'm glad I apparently never even experienced Linux being unstable, except for python packages on Ubuntu/Pop and nvidia on arch testing.

One of which is pain, and the other is relatively easily fixable with a bit of money.

Yeah, I ain't gonna pretend like switching was easy since you do need to get properly up skilled if you are a power user to get what you need out of it.

But once I went through the learning curve, it just fucking works.

I fucking spend good money on this hardware, I can't have sundar the creep constantly checking in on me.

Get fucked, you disgusting parasites

I’ve noticed. My Legion Go won’t output audio over HDMI plugged into a USB 4 dock after updating. My desktop is working fine, since I have a Focusrite Scarlett interface plugged into there and haven’t suffered any lack of audio.

I have 2 DACs and my focusrite is the only one to work. Get your shit together Microsoft.
