    Lots of walls of text in the comments. I’m sure the advice is good, I just don’t have the focus to read that much lol. I’ll keep it short

    Two things:

    Take a positive inventory. This can be hard, so maybe make a list, and write down one positive each day, then review the list daily.

    Don’t compare your insides to other people’s outsides. You will never gain contentment comparing yourself to others

  • Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

    I’m sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

    I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I’m not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

    You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

    Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I’m glad you have a system that works for you. I don’t have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

    Look, I get it. I’m putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I’m looking at the old heap I’m remembering all the little quirks it has that I’ve developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don’t have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I didn’t have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

    When this rig bites the dust, I’ll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we’re using Windows

    Also HP is shit and I’d gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them
