  • I revived an old computer using Mint, and it works great, but that’s for my brother who just browses and does spreadsheet and writing. I’m a bit more involved with how I use a computer and it is difficult enough to setup a wireless Xbox controller that I am considering automating it for future use and make that public. Note that I know fuck all about how to even begin, and I might give up halfway through, but the point stands that the motivation was triggered by a lack of user friendliness.




  • The windows Terminal exists and it’s actually nice. Yeah, Linux is very good for many reasons, but Windows still got a lot of good things going for it. Most people won’t find their use of either to be different, except in installing accessories. The absolute unit that is windows support for just about any accessory that comes out is unmatched.

    For a few examples, wireless Xbox gamepads, HP printers, webcams that require proprietary software, some of those professional audio setups.

    I know that Linux has a lot going for it too, especially in the freedom of choice in how the operating system works and runs, as well as how the desktop environment looks and feels, but let’s not pretend Windows has not improved since Windows 7.
