I’ve been getting fairly good battery life on arch and popOS on my laptop. Think it depends a bit on what laptop you’ve got as well. If I were to guess I’d say my current pop install gets ~10% less battery life than on windows, while I was probably even closer than that on arch after a bit of tinkering.
- Comment on Tesla again threatens to sue Cybertruck buyers who try to resell the cars 6 months ago:
As a Swede who don’t really care about cars, and hadn’t kept up with Musk, or Tesla overall, I simply just test drove electric vehicles until I found one that fit my needs, and that was the model 3. This was a few years ago, and I will never buy a Tesla again.
I actually still like the car, but I feel embarrassed driving it around now that I know more about the company and Musk…
Not in a financial position to change car atm, but if I was, I’d definitely go for an Ioniq 6 this time around.
- Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline 7 months ago:
Imo it’s been very easy. I recommend starting out by installing it on old hardware you don’t care about anymore, or in a VM, just to get a feel for if it’s something you feel is worth your time getting into, and if you want to keep using it, you can dual boot it along with windows. I particularly recommend PopOS as a great Linux distro to start out with, as it’s a simpler and in most ways better fork of Ubuntu.
As it doesn’t cost more than your time, and as long as tinkering with stuff like this is something you’re at least somewhat interested in, I don’t see any reason not to try it out again. But as with everything, there’s no guarantee Linux is perfect for your use cases and you might be better off with windows, so don’t feel bad for sticking with it if that’s the case for whatever reason!
- Comment on Millennials: It's ok to mourn the death of social media 7 months ago:
Worst part is that they actually started out kind of great, and killed all alternatives. Then they became progressively worse because of their predatory algorithms and whatnot, and now it’s borderline impossible to get friends and family to switch to an alternative like mastodon or pixelfed…

That’s understandable then, a lot has happened and the installation process in most distros is extremely user friendly and automated these days.

Like others have said, file sharing works pretty well with NTFS. I’ve had some issues playing games on steam that are on NTFS drives, but most work well. Also some issues accessing files from Cura for some reason. Other than that I have had no issues sharing files between w11 and Linux.
If you can, I recommend getting a dedicated SSD to install Linux on, and I’d recommend getting PopOS or Linux Mint as your distro. Both are Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, but are even easier and just overall better distros than Ubuntu imo, and most hardware and software will be compatible ootb without any tinkering.

I was fine with w10, but my god w11 has been a real pita for me. Had used Linux on laptops for quite some time before, but w11 was what finally pushed me into transitioning into Linux primarily on my main desktop PC as well.

Now this has me curious, what devices are those? Since transitioning to Linux I’ve installed it on a Mac, a surface pro 4, an old Lenovo laptop, an Asus laptop from 2014, my dedicated LAN desktop PC and my main desktop gaming PC, and none of those have had any issues.
- Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline 7 months ago:
I can highly recommend either using windows as a VM in virtualbox, or simply dual boot. I’m using Linux 99% of the time, but I still boot into windows occasionally for some firmware updates or software that does not work with Linux.
- Comment on Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather 7 months ago:
You can also test driving in direct sunlight without sunglasses or the suncover. You get notifications and beeping noises whenever you drive in clear weather, making the lane assist (I refuse to call it autopilot) quite irrational in most weather… It’s actually worse for me than driving in cold weather.
- Comment on Apple calls Android a 'massive tracking device' 8 months ago:
Oh man, this looks so much easier than when I installed Lineage on the Poco F1! Might go for it now that I’ve got a pixel 7
- Comment on New Footage Shows Tesla On Autopilot Crashing Into Police Car After Alerting Driver 150 Times 10 months ago:
Wanna know what’s even worse? My M3 is equipped with LIDAR, but the functionality has been patched away because they don’t want to develop for it since all their new cars only have cameras… So even though I have what’s in practice a way better system equipped, my lane assist (won’t call it autopilot) is still 100% dependent on the fucking cameras…

I’d take 10h shreksophone over 3 of those 4 years worth of netflix content any day of the week!
