• Me: Hey linux, uninstall GCC

      Linux: are you sure?

      ME: sudo do it

      Linux: ok

      Me: hey linux, update packages

      Linux: error

      Me: linux reinstall GCC

      Linux: error

      A short adventure with a valuable lesson learned by myself.

      Hell yeah. I changed my main OS to Linux mint. First time on Linux, and I love it so far.
      I only use Windows for stuff that Linux cant run yet.

        What specifically do you still need Windows for? It’s possible that you can get it all running under Proton.

          Ironically, Windows has the largest FOSS catalog of any OS, apart from soft proprietary of course. Also, many official and professional business apps are only available for Windows. Gaming can also be a reason to use Windows, although this is slowly changing.

        Can you share some examples? I’m genuinely curious.

      Shut the fuck up man literally every single post about any other operating system is “SWITCH TO LINUX, YOU WON’T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH LINUX!!! LOOK HOW MUCH BETTER LINUX IS!!! LINUXXXXXXXX!!!”

      All it does is give all the circle jerkers a reason to spam comments and not listen to anybody else’s opinions besides their own and it does absolutely nothing helpful for the post
