  • Last year my wife said “most games can be run on Linux now because of steam deck, I think I’ll switch to Linux” and I said “well I guess I’m switching too” so I un-installed windows, and I’ve been full time since, even starting to self host jellyfin and nextcloud. She and I have both done linux in the past, but gaming was what was holding us back. There wasn’t anything WRONG with windows per se , except maybe the looming threat of windows 11, I just really love linux, open source, and being able to easily lift up the hood to peek inside

    I use arch BTW. And Debian, my first love.


  • the Death Stars are mostly hallow

    Our Death Star, who art in heaven,

    Hallowed be thy name,

    Thy empire come, thy will be done,

    On Alderaan as it is in heaven,

    Give us this day our daily rations,

    And forgive us our rebellion,

    As we forgive those who rebel against us,

    And lead us not to the light side,

    But deliver us from the Jedi,

    For thine is the empire, and the unlimited power, and the dark side forever,

    Amen




  • I visited India back in 2008 and I loved it! However, since then I have realized that I am transgender, so I probably won’t go back unless the culture shifts toward being more friendly to queer people. That sours my taste for the country, unfortunately. I also escape fundamentalist Christianity, so I am very suspicious of fundamental and conservative religion, which I perceive as having a strong presence in India.

    I don’t see India leading in innovation or technology. I see China, Japan, South Korea and the US as being leaders that way. I do see India as up and coming due to its population spike, it definitely feels like development is happening fast!














  • I switched because there’s nothing I can do on windows that I can’t do on Linux. Granted, it can take some legwork and reading tutorials to get certain games running on linux. But I just feel more in control of my stuff on Linux.

    As a beginner, I really suggest you make the move to Linux as easy as possible for yourself. It’s more likely to be a pleasant experience, and thus a long term one. Try something easy like Linux mint. Once you get used to that, you can start distro hopping.
