  • Ubuntu at the start of my college years, dabbled with Arch in the senior year. Huge learning experience, but ultimately I went back to Windows because gaming support was nonexistent at the time. Kept the dual boot up and kept it running Arch during the day for coursework, Windows when I was all done.

    For the past decade since then I was entirely back on Windows. Aside from an Ubuntu VM for my last job, I didn’t really get back into it until the Steam Deck launched a few years ago, and at the start of this year I decided to set up a dual boot again once I got a new full new desktop build. Tried Bazzite, really didn’t like how restricted I felt, immediately wiped it and tried out CachyOS instead, and that’s my daily driver today.

    And just this past week I finally decided got into selfhosting, something I’ve been eyeballing for ages but never really got around to. Proxmox on the host, Debian VM, pretty standard and works amazingly.



  • I set up a dual boot over the winter, I’ve gone back to windows maybe 3 times at most.

    I’ll still keep it around in case I ever decide to dabble in games that use rootkit anticheat (though since quitting destiny 2 I don’t see that happening lmao) and for other very occasional utility, but I’m definitely thinking of shrinking that partition even further




  • I’ve always sworn by Arch builds. Built one up from scratch back in college ten years ago, and this past winter I decided I wanted to try a linux box again. After a bit of distro hopping I settled on CachyOS, but Endeavor caught my eye too.

    Shit breaks, but fixing it is a learning experience. Small price to pay in exchange for the customization it offers.

    Piracy spaces and anything adjacent tend to be pretty far right. It’s bizarre.

    Hell even just open source software communities can be fucked up. I’m working on a little project and one tool I came across proudly said “made in the USA”, took 2 seconds to find the dev is a nazi with AI slop plastered all over his profile.

    It’s just kind of bizarre because these sorts of spaces in theory would go against what the right believes in but apparently not







  • The game looks gorgeous and the art style is phenomenal. Bungie’s a studio of amazing artists and devs that are always given the backseat to godawful C-suite decisions and engagement metrics.

    I sunk 12k hours into destiny 2 and cut that cord last fall and haven’t looked back. I will never support that studio again until Pete Parsons and his ilk bite the curb.


  • The last time I tried a linux system for a daily driver was over 10 years ago. At the time everything felt rough, unstable, unsupported, and gaming in particular was nonexistent.

    Set up a CachyOS dual boot back in February, think I booted up Windows 3 times at most since then (and have since sorted out the issues that I had to do that for in the first place).

    I still can’t seriously recommend the switch to less tech savvy folks (try putting grandma on Mint and see what happens lmao), but we’re definitely finally getting there after all these years.
