Manjaro (Arch) with hyprland for my window manager.

I failed at convincing anyone at every company I’ve worked with. Getting a MacBook is the only alternative for me.

Your sound card would probably work without issue. Don’t rely on the manufacturers website about drivers when it comes to that.

For gamepass, you have to either give that up, play on Xbox, or stay with windows. That’s something that Microsoft’s will never support on Linux.

Makes sense.

I wanted to try the Affinity suite but found it doesn’t work on Linux. I also tried running it via wine but had massive issues. I’d gladly pay if they release it for Linux. Until then, I’ll use free alternatives.

Just curious, which software do you have to run on windows? I used to think alternatives for photography weren’t good enough but I changed my mind recently. Alternatives exist, but just like switching from windows, it requires the willingness to relearn how to do things I was used to in adobe lightroom and photoshop.

I’ll give a contrasting opinion.

I’ve used both Fedora and Manjaro extensively, and I prefer Manjaro.

The reason is that I prefer the package management of Arch more than fedora. I’ve had no issues finding what I need through the official arch repositories and the AUR (secondary choice).

Manjaro is a bleeding edge distro so keep that in mind. Personally, I’ve had no problems in the last year of running it.

I scored 8/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I wasn’t expecting it to be that bad. WOW.

I have nightmares of ndiswrapper and Broadcom chipsets. Struggled for ages to try and make that work when I was running Suse Linux. :shudder:

I have a Synology NAS (from 3 years ago). My photos are synced from my iPhone via the Synology photos application and can be accessed from my Linux desktop via nfs.

I found alternatives for almost everything except Apple Music. I just connect my phone via Bluetooth nowadays to play music at a higher bitrate than what Apple allows via browser. Wish they would build an official client.

I have nothing constructive to say. I laughed too much at this.

Same here, went with Fastmail and I love it.

I’m using a custom domain name, but I use aliases for services I don’t trust, and for those who block my custom domain name.

Fuck uber.

I needed to take a ride from the airport to my home, and uber quoted me $150 for a 30 min ride. I jumped into a waiting taxi and paid $90 instead. At least the cab driver would see a good chunk of that money.

It’s white and gold to me
