  That’s your preference though. I prefer Sony’s symmetrical sticks. It’s ok to have your preference, no need to state that it’s the objectively better one.

  Local residents in cities with data centers are dealing with higher electricity costs. Those costs get passed on from the corps to the local residents. On top of that they’re dealing with water scarcity and pollution.

  Without accounting for the cost of a PC being so crazy, you really don’t need a college course to install and run Linux, or to setup steam on it.

  Give it a shot on an old/cheap device someday. It’s come a very long way in usability.

  mpv is cool and all, but it’s not going to play media on my Apple TV which is using Jellyfin via invidious.

  My company’s policy is 90 miles. I know people who have to drive 1.5 hours to work each way.

  Your sound card would probably work without issue. Don’t rely on the manufacturers website about drivers when it comes to that.

  For gamepass, you have to either give that up, play on Xbox, or stay with windows. That’s something that Microsoft’s will never support on Linux.

  Makes sense.

  I wanted to try the Affinity suite but found it doesn’t work on Linux. I also tried running it via wine but had massive issues. I’d gladly pay if they release it for Linux. Until then, I’ll use free alternatives.

  Just curious, which software do you have to run on windows? I used to think alternatives for photography weren’t good enough but I changed my mind recently. Alternatives exist, but just like switching from windows, it requires the willingness to relearn how to do things I was used to in adobe lightroom and photoshop.

  Fuck uber. I needed to take a ride from the airport to my home, and uber quoted me $150 for a 30 min ride. I jumped into a waiting taxi and paid $90 instead. At least the cab driver would see a good chunk of that money.
