I’m sure it’s the exact same thing happening in both operating systems.

It’s just clouded cache files that need to be cleaned up.

I still prefer it over windows. If it were not for their absurd pricing, I’d have a MacBook Air over my thinkpad.

I’d much prefer to run Linux, but I’ve yet to find a way to do my main work task on something other than Mac or windows.

macOS is pretty bad about using up storage space. There are always huge 10gb+ cache files for cloud related stuff. Even if I’m like, don’t store it locally.

I’ve not used macOS in years, so many that issue has been resolved.

I use Linux for personal use, and Ive been using windows for work due to necessity.

There is one app I need that does not support Linux. I contacted their support asking about a Linux version and they suggested using waysroid to run the android version of the app.

So, when I have free time I’m working on switching things over.

My main motivation is Microsoft pushing ads everywhere and being aggressive about using online accounts and stuff that like.

I think so.

It would be great if we could get a steamdeck that runs one of these arm chips.

I wonder if valve is already experimenting with something like this. Maybe another they will have something like box64 too

Oh, yeah. I just ignore that stuff. But it’s really annoying. I can’t even think of the last time I played a game online.

Oh, I got fallout 76 on sale super cheap and uninstalled it after 20-30 minutes.

100% Online gaming is pretty toxic and I love being able to play at my own pace.

Only exception to this for me was stardew with my wife.

What do you mean? That they are based off Ubuntu?

Once I got food delivered and it was all fucked up. Like not sealed and everything spilled all over everything else. Like soup soaking the ribs.

They asked for proof that it was in the garbage to make sure will not eat it.

I wasn’t going to anyway, but just to be an add I put it in a fresh trash bag and sent the picture.

I’d already sent a picture of how destroyed the meal was when it was delivered.

To any Linux curious users,

I consider myself to be an intermediate Linux user. I have hosted applications and services on Linux servers in the cloud and use it as my primary operating system. I recommend Linux Mint. If you have an nvidia GPU, then I recommend PopOS as they have a version that has nvidia drivers pre-installed.

When I first started with Linux, I thought that Mint was less capable than other distros as it was the most user friendly. But I learned that you can do anything you want with any Linux distro. It is just that Mint is the least likely to give you trouble with random things.

With that all being said, you will have far fewer issues with Linux than you will with Windows.

Additionally, you can get legit troubleshooting steps for linux that actually work. With Windows it seems that there are 100 ways to possibly fix an issue and they feel like patching a sinking boat.
