  • Ever since I tried windows 11 on a laptop given to me I’ve been using Linux exclusively. It’s been about a year now and I thought I would have issues with games, but every game I actually play runs just fine, and usually better than on Windows.

    I don’t see myself going back at all. Even for my college classes for windows exclusive software (just requirements for degree) I use the provided cloud vm from the school. Every time I go into the VM it just reminds me more how I don’t want to go back to Windows.

    At least on pretty much all distros, you can customize your desktop however you want. Can’t even move the taskbar anymore on Windows 11.

    Edit - this addition:

    I’ve even built my latest PC with the express goal of never running Windows and I’m extremely happy with it.













  • Let me put it this way. For capitalism to continue there’s an ever-marching goal of exponential profit. To get more profit you must work harder and the company must pay you less and work you longer. At some point you will be crushed. Nothing can expect exponential returns, yet capitalism constantly expects that.

    Communism wouldn’t need retirement because such a society wouldn’t have an exponential motive for existence. Work would be done as needed instead of constantly more and more and more. I wouldn’t mind being in my 80’s and still “working” because all the work I’d do would have a direct positive result on my community instead of more money for someone pocketing the excess value of my labor over what they paid me.

    Besides, who would need to push papers around for companies in an economic system that is moneyless and stateless? (communism is literally moneyless and stateless so USSR, China, Valenzuela, etc. are not communist since they have a state)







  • I have a GL533VD laptop with an i7 and GTX 1050

    • Upgraded RAM to 32GB
    • Upgraded storage from 7200rpm HDD to 1TB SATA SSD and 500GB NVME drive
    • upgraded wireless card to an AX capable one (only use Ethernet at home anyway)

    Runs Linux Mint 21.1 and usually using Steam’s Proton for games, but have used HeroicGames for my epic library.

    Usually I play Rocket League with forced compatibility in steam with the only issue being in-game voice chat
