Hey that's me! I switched about a week ago. Still slowly going through my library and getting them all working, but I've got Elden Ring and Balatro so far and that's more than enough for now.
Linux users on Lemmy hit an all-time high
This got a full belly laugh from me. 😂
No joke I wonder how many of us nerds are on linux/lemmy.
We're a big bubble of linux users. I brought up Android update enabling use of graphical linux programs, and my coworker (in IT) said "why are you so obsessed with Linux"
You’re welcome to ask questions here ❤️
I used to work with Linux systems designed in the 90s. I'm honestly surprised how simple it's been so far. I still have my windows partition just in case, but I haven't had any reason to use it.
It'll be you the next time you click allow for a steam hardware survey. Mine will be part of december's for the first time since I switched, so I'm helping next month's number increase.
Though kinda funny how for a steam survey, I'm all for it, but any other attempt to get usage data gets a fuck no from me. I hope all future valve owners understand the value of that trust and don't try to cash in on it like some MBA that who thinks thinking of the future means extrapolating the current quarter's increase in earnings indefinitely into the future.
A lifetime of not completely shitting the bed helps. I am also deeply deeply distrustful of most info gathering too. It's half the reason I switched. I don't usually like the newest windows on launch because they ratchet up the surveillance every time. The other half is my hardware isn't good enough for windows 11 and I'm not upgrading.
