Everytime Microsoft blunders, which is a lot and it is reported, it never fails that there will be numerous individuals proclaiming their switch to Linux. But I always feel like a lot of it is just simply clout, a pat-on-the-back feeling for deciding against the masses kind of feel.

And it always makes me beg to really see how those kind of people fare if they actually did switch and use Linux on a daily basis.

I’ll take anyone seriously if they actually switch and sometimes actually talk to me about how their Linux experience is going. Because more times than not, I always assume it’s some dual-boot user who could sneak their way back to Windows time to time and barely use Linux.

And I’ll see the statistics of the OS marketshare budge…slightly, for Linux. I’m proud that Linux at all that it is gaining more usage than it has before than where it had been 15+ years ago and earlier.

    Sure but now you’ve gone from not using windows to mostly using windows.

      I guess i’m not commited enough lol. I didn’t want to pay out the ass for a similar sized monitor either, that would’ve still had less features as well. The tv was just way more versatile, aside from the dp thing, especially since i also still play on consoles. I saw you deleted your other comment, but no, there aren’t any good adapters that can actually provide all the features i want to use, including vrr, so i just can’t see that working. Maybe these issues will be resolved at some point in the future, and i can move most of my gaming back to linux, but for now it’s mostly going to be productivity, and i still daily drive it on my laptop since that thing can barely play games anyway.
