  • I think hate is really too strong of a word, dislike at most for me.
    My biggest issue with Microsoft is a lack of trust. Apart from that, I just like my Linux setup more and find it easier to use.
    Stuff I want to do works how I want to do it and how I’m (now) used to it.
    Regardless, I use Windows at work, manage Windows Servers and Azure. It’s just how it is.

    You could download stressapptest and run that memory benchmark in the normal system.

    I’m not sure how well the current version of Memtest does, but when I was overclocking I was told not to use it as it couldn’t reliably get memory to crash. (Funny problem to have). The two recommended tools are Windows only, so I found stressapptest as the best alternative.

    In my experience setting environment variables is pretty inconsistent. The easiest way would be using /etc/environment. This sets stuff globally for all users and definitely works.

    PAM also used to support a per-user environment file, but that’s deprecated or removed even. The best you can do for per-user config is setting variables both in your login shell and the systemd user environments file.
