Software worked out of the box much more reliably. I miss certain software but there’s nothing I haven’t found a happy replacement for. There’s a little nostalgia in there somewhere but honestly the feeling is mostly good riddance

Now I’m personally a Fedora KDE user but my wife’s 2017 era gaming PC runs Ubuntu flawlessly, it’s got an Nvidia GPU in it too. I think a lot of the issues you hear about Ubuntu basically boil down to user error. My wife occasionally will struggle with something on the machine but I’ll pop on and fix it pretty quickly. I imagine if she didn’t have me in house to troubleshoot she would be one of the people complaining about Ubuntu.

I’ve honestly been pretty impressed with Ubuntu using it on her machine; only thing wrong with Ubuntu is Canonical lol

I’m not much of a gamer anymore, I only play stuff from the prepandemic, mostly 10+ year old games but tbh Linux works great for everything. Mostly been using Steam on both Ubuntu and Fedora KDE but it works flawlessly so long as you have your graphics drivers configured correctly.

I haven’t tried to pirate any games or install anything with WINE/Lutris so I can’t comment on that but I did manage to get the non-Steam Windows only version of Final Fantasy 14 working for my wife using a third party launcher. I got the impression doing that that an adept user would easily be able to set up standalone or pirated games without much trouble

After LSD was made illegal this guy was disgraced and became a laughing stock. He got so depressed that he invented doing ketamine in the sensory deprivation tank where he would repeatedly k hole to learn about the secrets of the universe.

Two dualing forces who’s contradictions hold all of reality in balance. Solid State Intelligence, SSI, cold, robotic, still, from the vacuum of space they seek to integrate all material into their computer matrix. On the other side ECCO, the Earth Coincidence Control Office, who’s psychic powers derive from the oceans and organic matter. They organize ‘coincidences’ that involve unwitting life forms in their plans to spread and preserve organic life

Direct line straight from giving LSD to dolphins to Ecco the Dolphin video games

Life is literally so easy once you understand this one trick.
