I use Win11 on my main computer for work and school reasons. I need maximum compatibility and reliability and it has met those goals. Back in the day, I used to use Linux on my old laptops and I dual-booted it on my main PC. It has been awesome seeing how far it has come and I would like to get back into it some day.

That being said, a huge barrier for Linux and prospective new users is the community. The Linux community is highly combative and toxic and it absolutely sours what should (and could!) be a great experience. Almost every interaction I had while troubleshooting had some level of condescending attitude or outright hostility and there were numerous times I was directly insulted for asking for help - the most recent being a couple years ago when I was trying out a distro and had sound driver issues.

More like certainly. It is hard to have a relationship with (or even exist alongside) someone who is constantly dragging you down.

Only a matter of time before Google will shut that down too.

Good time to drop an educational reminder that tea isn’t just leaves in hot water but an actual plant. The tea plant, or Camellia sinensis.

A lot of the things that get labeled as “tea” are not actually tea.
