I fought with Ubuntu for a weekend trying to get it to run my game library. I failed.

I will give it a swing again when steam stops W10 support.

It W10 for gaming and Linux for everything else at this point.

By anytime, it'll be hidden in a hot fix 6 to 12 months from now.

That's a fair comment I guess...but it's the reality of the game. The US was a free market through it's early history and today is the result of that.

It's just how the free market ends, always. It starts with a few winners consolidating, abusing their monopoly and buying their government protections, and poof...welcome to late stage capitalism.

"Free Market" people always disregard human nature at it's worst. There will always be people and orgs that game the system. You simply can't prevent that. The US is absolutely an end game free market.

This is textbook late stage free market ideals at work. This is how the free market always ends.

No...stack I can usually figure out from the context of questions what went wrong. AI will very confidently and eloquently give you a very subtle bullshit answer.

What's really ugly is it makes really good code with fucking terrible bugs. My last job for all of six weeks was trying to fix and integrations wrapper of an integrations wrapper on a 3rd party library of integrations.

It looked like really good code, but the architecture was fucked beyond repair. I was supposed to support it for a fortune 50. I quit before they could put me in the on call rotation.

Ok...that's not bootlicking...that's a legit plea for some poor fuck in the poorest of situations.

I've been in situations where I know I'm about to fuck my coworkers over and I let them know beforehand. Management can eat my dick however.

Bob, you might want to take a sick day on Wednesday...why?...just do it...here's my linked in info.

Dude...you need to get off X and watch something other than Newsmax

Bill Gates (but that's debatable...he's at least doing some good with his money)

11 made me make that switch. My main gaming / media machine is still on W10 and will be until it dies. Then I'll finally invest in figuring out gaming on Linux.

But for day to day browsing and development. Ubuntu has been excellent and is much more snappy than windows. I also picked up a cheap ancient MacBook pro for interviews and it's a solid machine as well.

No regrets so far.
