Hate is a strong word, i don’t feel strongly enough about an os to really hate it. I still use a Windows 10 pc for my music production since all of my vsts work there and continue working there even after updates and whatever else.

My daily driver is running pop os. my main reason for switching was just a personal disagreement with the direction windows was going back around 2021ish when they were talking about integrated advertising in the file explorer. Linux was always something I wanted to get to learning so the timing just seemed right to switch over.

Huh I always thought ventoy was just another iso to usb writer. I’ve been totally sleeping on the fact it can hold a bunch of isos and installs them directly. That’s so handy

Ah gotcha. I’m kind of enjoying just hanging with regular people being regular on mastodon. Probably check out bluesky at some point.

Thanks for the info!

Haven’t been following Blue sky stuff at all. Any reason to use this over mastodon?

Mostly smooth. When I jumped onto pop os I think it was the 21.10 version which was good. Only the ng that I never got working was lutris. When 22.04 was released I updated to that and had some weirdness afterwards that I couldn’t quite iron out. I ended up doing a fresh install with 22.04 and it’s been great since.

I always wanted to learn. I had a number of failed attempts with Linux back in 2000, 2006, etc. I always gave it a shot every 5 years ago just to see.

I fully made the switch with pop os a couple years ago and it ended up sticking. I was in a better place to learn linux and pop os is just easy and noob friendly. This last time was also spurned on when the rumour was going around that windows 11 was going to have ads right in the explorer. I don’t know if that ever happened but it was enough to get me to give it another shot haha

Audio Technica m50x with Bluetooth. I bought them for tracking when recording guitar or just jamming music. They have a flat response so it doesn’t add lows or highs or scoop mids. The Bluetooth option works great with pop os and is easy to switch between headphones mode (stereo audio) or headset (mono sound +mic) mode. Never worked on win10 for some reason.
