    Why does Tux have a cute little mace? Is this the year he gets mediaeval on the world?

    Switching from Ubuntu to Arch, because I spend more time disabling the default stuff than I do troubleshooting new stuff anyways.

      I did that exact switch for the same reason and I have to say, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in my Linux history!

    I’m going to build a Libreboot gaming machine in a couple days. I’m using a Dell Precision T1650 motherboard which they just added support for a couple months ago. I’m building it with a i7 3770, 16GB DDR3 RAM (4x4), 2080 SUPER, 1TB SSD, and 700W PSU.

    I am so excited, I haven’t seen anyone else build a gaming machine with this motherboard yet. This could be one of the first motherboards you can actually game with. I will be posting on Lemmy and YouTube with the benchmarks. You can find me on YouTube @OrwellianPenguin if you’re interested!

    This year I made the switch on my gaming PC (Windows to Arch). Next year, my target is replacing my CNC controller system, probably using raspbian on a raspberry model 3. That will bring the Windows count down to 1, which is about as low as my household can go.

      LinuxCNC is rock solid. I am a career machinist of 20 years and have used it to run work horse production machines without fault for years. Setting it up can be a nightmare, though. The fact that the distro is Debian based makes the reliability amazing, even after power outages etc. Just make sure you have a dedicated GPU or weirdness can happen.

    Keep using Linux, for the 30th year. Started in '94 with Slackware 1.2, RedHat 1/1.1 in '95 and switched to Debian at the end of '95 (0.93 R5 or R6). I was running OS/2 for my BBS in that time, with a link to my Linux system with internet since august '95. I had a terminal with null-modem cable next to my bed for IRC, 10 Mbit connection at my room. (campus of UTwente in the Netherlands)

    Was fun messing about with that stuff.

    My work supports Linux which is great but they only really support Gnome which I hate.

    My plans are to decide between Ubuntu or SUSE with Hyperland (cool but I’ll have to support myself, which is fine but annoying)

      Graphen OS will come when I buy my next phone, but currently I’m fine with my old phone. It is slow after almost 5 years, but it’s still fine.
