  • Honestly, I think the biggest thing for me using Linux the last 10+ years has been I find it easier to stay updated. I can just run one command like apt update && apt upgrade -y or write a short script to include Flatpak or whatever else to get everything updated; whereas with Windows it feels like a crapshoot whether updates actually get pushed to my machine, and it also seems to just bug out on me frequently and need me to delete a corrupted download or whatever… and once that’s done I gotta worry about updating drivers and apps.

    Other than that, I guess the more customization is nice so I can change my desktop when I’m bored and need something new. Plus I’m personally much more comfortable in a Linux shell than Windows command prompt. But really day-to-day my experience is similar to Windows these days, in terms of stability and being able to get stuff done.

    And I primarily use Mint, for it’s worth :)



  • Edit: I’m a dumbass and forgot to mention the game I’ve easily played the most over the years: RuneScape 2 and currently Old School RuneScape. I love it. Lol

    The biggest game for me in my childhood was Starcraft: Brood War. It got me into super RTS games, and even though I played it on the Nintendo 64 (which sucked in retrospect lol) it was the first game I really got into.

    The next two games that come to mind were Super Smash Bros and Halo (specifically 2, but really all of the ones before 4 I played a ton of) just because these games were super easy and fun to play with friends and family.

    And there were some honorable mentions like Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 and Star Fox 64, since these were also games that I played a ton of.
