When they announced when windows 10 support would end. The writing was on the wall and each update was a toss up whether it would add a useless feature.

I knew from experience many years ago that windows would delete grub if it so much as looked at it funny. So I got an amd card and cut windows out cold turkey.

Linux has a whole host of weird quirks and issues, just like windows. But it’s either something documented, fixable, or will be fixed in an update. I’m more excited to click update in Linux than I am with windows too.

Few pieces of software don’t work with either wine or a windows VM as backup. But so far I’m not missing much. Missing out on some games because of anti cheat sucks though. Even though I hate anti cheat, I still love a good game of league.

Unless I’m mistaken, the malware isn’t on the CPU. The exploit is CPU, but the firmware is stored on the bios chip. Used motherboards are a potential for having malware on them, but then again they always have been a risk

You see I play both sides, that way I always come out on top

Well yeah they only want to get their favorite employees outta there. /s

That 1080ti deserves a rest, but I would totally build a second PC with it

No can do. All the removed code is replaced with stability

They would get vetted by U.S safety standards before being sold, not by Chinese standards.

For the love of Tux, whatever you do install Arch on the btrfs file system so you can time shift back whenever arch decides to try and ruin your day on an update.

Is that the platinum trophy?

Honestly, if this laptop is primarily for work, then you should stick to windows. Keep the workflow the same as your coworkers so issues aren’t blamed on your abnormal setup. You’re already using un-privacy work related apps like zoom either way right?

Unless you really have the time and inclination to iron out these bugs on your work machine, then save Linux for your personal computer. It would help to get used to the environment and how stuff works rather than jumping in cold.

Linux has come a really far way since I remember tinkering with it in high school, but it’s still “not quite there” yet. Crazy improvements are happening all the time though with community effort. Though idk if it will ever be at the point where it works out of the box for everyone.
