Linux is infuriating at times, like when you have a nice mouse or capture card that requires special software or drivers, but compromising my values for the sake of convenience feels pathetic when Windows really isn’t that much better. I use Windows when I must and nothing more.
Linux can be frustrating when something goes wrong, but at least you know it was by accident (either a bug in the software or a mistake on your part). In contrast, when proprietary software goes wrong it’s often due to some megacorporation deliberately trying to fuck you over, and that’s what’s really infuriating!
Yeah, the only issues I have are virtual mics to filter background noise on Discord. I have a program that does it, but I lose control over playing music as well (I have a solution through Helvum, but I have to do the specific audio paths every boot for Firefox -> Discord, and I can’t individually control the volume. Plus the path dies every time I pause the music).
But it was equally as frustrating to get it set up on windows with virtual cables as it has been to try to get virtual cables to work on Linux, so it’s a push there. Everything else has been basically as easy, give or take some of the learning curves of a new OS, and can be attributed to user error.
Dual boot has been nice. Both work how I want them to, 95% of the time, and if one is giving me issues in the moment, the other is likely to work. I do use Linux wayyy more rn tho.
I can’t figure out Discord push to talk on Hyprland because of the X11 stuff. Regarding capture cards, I only record on Windows, anything else on that OS feels slow. There is a delightful snappiness to Linux, and adding animations don’t seem to cause any chugging.
Also opening power shell terminal is awful,
1 hold super
2 press x
3 release super
4 press a
It loads slowly.
Windows does not want you accidentally being productive. Bleh.
