Yup. We’re mostly a linux shop at work, but Fusion360 is almost the only thing we keep Windows around for

Out of curiosity, which step in the arch install did you have issues with on your first two attempts?
Laughs in Archlinux and Brother printer
Had the same journey. Thats the thing though, once you start with custom ppas and packages arch becomes much better. Today, users should largely pull in newer programs through snaps/appimage/flatpak, so I think it’s gotten better than it used to be.
Me too, if procastination is a productivity workload 😅
Actually, looks lhe base patents have expired. All the extentions, SSE, AVX are still in effect though
People who do productivity workloads, and not just gaming
therarbg.com is a good mirror/clone
Overpromise & underdeliver
Holy shit that’s annoying. Say I installed Win11 for my elderly parents. They’d get this sign-up screen after I would have thought everything was setup and ready to use.
Glad I installed elementary OS for them a few years ago, it’s been completely painless (they are used to apple-UX)
I’ve packaged on both distros, and PKGBUILDs are truly amazing
Ah, thats terrible then. A computer should last longer than that, especially with a battery replacement mid-life
It has terrible future proofing however. Sure, apple is generally good at supporting their devices, but I’m sure a device with more than 8 would remain usable for a longer time.
I use arch on a proxmox lxc in order to handle apps which does not have a debian repo. Using AUR saves me from manually recompiling/downloading on new releases. Wouldn’t use it for a server at work though.
Using torguard. Works well
Many hardware manufacturers unfortunately require windows for firmware updates. Fwupd isn’t nearly used enough unfortunately
I just lean on tab and let copilot fill the screen with garbage
