I'll second this, stupid good battery life but a fairly simple watch. Doesn't do apps but it does health tracking and notifications and it's pretty good at looking like a watch instead of a toy.

Let's break up both of their monopolies!

Both of these companies played dirty to get on top, both hide money in tax havens. They both stiffle innovation.

I somehow played Mario is missing on dos and SNES when I was a kid.

Your parents sound more like gen x to me, but there are blurred lines between all the generations.

Your comments about tech understanding is almost completely opposite to most other comments, which is my main reason for thinking that. But I know plenty of millennials that are shit with tech too.

My experience in IT is that most of gen z doesn't care about understanding anything on the Internet outside of social media, and they do excel at social media compared to others but I see fewer and fewer young people interested in how any of it works. They seem to be completely content with consuming media but even most of the big game streamers are millennials it seems like. Gen z seems completely ok with walled gardens and black box services as long as they 'work' .

As someone who just started their container adventure by setting up rootless podman on arch, it wasn't terrible but I think I agree. I think I'm going to go check out some vanilla-ass docker until I can understand everything better.

I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell yes. It also seems a bit easier to have a rootless setup.

I have over 200 hours in cyberpunk on Linux. The gog version is a little bit more work to setup the steam version. If you have it on steam, and have steam installed natively (not inside wine) it should work assuming you have the correct GPU drivers installed.

I've always had weird, buggy shit with Nvidias Linux drivers. AMD is pretty great though.

You could try an open source game like xonotic that supports Linux to test as well.

My problem is people saying Linux isn't ready because Nvidia provides a terrible experience, and they are basing that opinion on their personal experience with Nvidias gpu drivers. Using any other gpu provides an experience so close to the deck that it's not even a talking point.

No OS is perfect, Linux has problems, but Nvidia makes people think it's a mess.

My company shoots for 5 year life on desktops, 3 on laptops. At that mark we evaluate if the machine is still supported and doing the job it needs to do.

If either of those things are not true then we replace the unit.

Smaller companies that I have worked for tried to stretch most hardware to double that, but it was always a bad idea imo.

Windows upgrades from one version to the other are also a hot mess, so I don't think that's a knock against Linux. I just think everyone sucks at in place upgrades, maybe not Mac but I have little experience there.

I'd much rather reinstall windows fresh than upgrade a 7 machine to 10 to be on a supported OS. Going from 10 to 11 uninstalled most of my apps and still resulted in a janky system.

Rolling distros don't have this same problem because there aren't really versions but they have a whole bunch of new and different problems. I still prefer rolling for personal systems though.
