  • My gf recently built a PC for herself and just did moved her from Windows to Kubuntu stable as well. I was kinda surprised, she was the one who came to me and told me that she doesn’t want Windows 11 so she’s open to try out Linux. I changed to Linux (Debian) myself for a year and a half and she probably noticed that I still play my games and use it the very same way I did with Windows. I told her that most of the apps has alternatives, running games isn’t a big a deal anymore and if she really really need to run Windows software, there’s a great chance she can. (But this didn’t occured).

    My only concern was full Huion Kamvas support and crativity apps, 2D drawing and all that… but she’s open to use and learn Krita, it seems she likes it. But if that won’t work out, my small research told me that ClipStudio Paint (the one she used on Windows) works well with Wine. The Huion tablet just worked out of the box, with pressure sensitivity and all that jazz. (Buttons don’t work though, but Huion has official Linux drivers which supposed to make them work, so that’s awesome.)




  • I’m the other way around. I switched to Debian on my main around a year ago now and I’m like “oh, this game works, and this game works too, oh and that works as well, wow!”. Honestly, any game I threw at Debian, it just… worked. Granted, I don’t play very recent games and most of them either single player or does not have any serious anti cheat measures. Even VR works with ALVR and Steam VR, wirelessly on my (or rather my homie’s, just borrowed) Quest 2.

    And not just games, a lot of Windows software just works with Wine.

    So, before the change, I thought I need or use Windows exclusive software, and I did, but all of them are now have decent alternatives. Maybe except for Notepad++. (I use Kate and KWrite, but… I really don’t like those softwares, but they get the job done the same way np++ did)

    So, I’m really surprised how well this past 1 year went without any issue.

    But that’s kinda valid that if something doesn’t run, then people won’t change. You are talking about people who doesn’t care libre/FOSS software and all that jazz, they won’t change if it’s just simply worse.




  • Not really. I like to have it most of the times with me - even at home. I just like to feel its weight in my pocket.

    But that doesn’t mean I’m using it always, only if there’s really nothing else, I check the few apps I use then read articles and shit or mess with Termux.

    According to Samsung’s weekly reports, I use it less and less each week.






  • I used to use Ubuntu, but nowadays I just go with Debian for servers (as well), but you said you wish to choose something else, so I can’t give you any meaningful inputs…

    I don’t know how real the outdated packages threat, but I would assume, a server never really wants the bleeding edge software and Debian usually gets the critical security updates and patches.

    But I’m no expert.

    It is true that Bookworm is kinda old now, though.



  • Nah, bro 500 pounds is INSANE. I can get a nice v1 Switch used around 150-200 pound where I live and usually consoles, especially Nintendo here are expensive, even second-hand, so you may really reconsider this pricetag.

    Also, being a v1 Switch isn’t a too extravagant thing nowadays since all of the Switches can be hacked with a Raspberry Pi Pico board variant that is around 3 bucks each.
