I’ve tried many distros over a 20 year period. I’m happy with CachyOS.

Sweet, thanks for the recommendation!

For anyone searching, don’t do what I did and typo “bbw daddy”.

With my own money? Chrono Trigger, shortly after it was released in the US. Took a while to save up my meager allowance.

I was a tween, and it was very worth it.

Linux hobbiest for a couple decades, began daily driving a couple months ago. My workflows for graphic design have been extremely stunted without being able to use Illustrator.

I’ve been looking for a reasonable replacement since 2012. Reasonable meaning it can do everything I need it to do and without slowing down productivity. So, this pain point didn’t come as a surprise, it just is.

It’s a tradeoff I made willingly and with full knowledge of the ramifications. I have zero regrets, even if I’m handicapped on certain tasks.

Now that I’m daily driving, I’ve been able to learn much more than when I just had Linux on my gaming box. For instance, I friggin love how expandable Dolphin is. Batch resize and convert images with a couple clicks from a file browser? Hell yeah!

The terminal has also become a closer friend, but I still hate VIM. :p

Are you now avoiding all computers, including Lenovo, or retracting/clarifying your initial statement?

To me, a computer is a tool. In this modern age, we don’t stand a chance of fighting without these tools. Take the sword from your enemy and stab him with it.

Lenovo is a good tool.

Except their bloatware POS tablet.

What brand of PC is innocent? Genuinely curious.

Big RAM hates this one little trick!

If it’s doing what you need it to do, no reason to rock that boat! It is fun to try out other distros without distro hopping, just to see what’s out there. That’s what a good thumb drive is for!

Depending on which crypto, but yes. And the ASICs have a usable shelf life of just a few years, so I assume they are migrating to machines for AI processing as their ASICs need routine replacement.

Holy shit. I admire the camera guy for being able to hold the phone at all. I’d be running. I’d be crying, peeing, and running.

You know, the whole YMCA song he always used is starting to make more sense.
