I have it to the point where it barely does what I need and now I am avoiding it.
I was hoping it would act as a gateway to transition everything over, but it just ended up being yet another cautionary tale about relying on a system that is made for and by enthusiasts only.
And sure, I’ll just buy another VR headset that I can’t currently afford when my other one works just fine. Or maybe I’ll do without and one of my main forms of exercise will just be gone.
Glad to see linux evangelists are as toxic as ever.

I was going to suggest that nothing lasts forever, and by the time your shitty shackled masturbatory aid (seriously, just use a Hitachi, it’s cheaper, and you can probably get free shipping if you also order a new HDD; they make good ones) breaks windows will have gone from shit show to shit storm, and you should try again.
See, I’m not saying Linux is easy. Its harder than windows was fifteen years ago. I’m saying windows is getting worse so fast that your data I’d at risk.

Again with the toxicity. You’ll forgive me if I leave this conversation now. Well, you probably won’t, because of the toxicity, but a reasonable person would.

I think you’re being unreasonably offended here, and I’m sure there’s a reason but I can’t figure it out. Being asked to change, like its something I’m asking you to do for my sake? Secret crush on bill gates? Linux killed your dog?

Nobody owes you a reply, and this is last one you will get.
