Just because a garden is walled doesn’t mean it’s better. It just means that you need specialty solutions instead of pre-baked solutions that are on the open market
I agree that the UX is better on MacOS, but it’s because of the immense amount of hand-holdong
I like the memes, but that’s it. I use Linux, sure, but I also have to use Windows for a few programs because WINE doesn’t work with said programs, and the alternatives aren’t the best
With that being said, would I prefer Linux to be mainstream? Yes. Will it ever be? Probably not. Too many people just want something that works out of the box and don’t want to spend hours fixing some obscure bug.
I am a nerd. Therefore, I am okay spending time working on my machine and making sure everything runs well. I have previously looked at an OS that doesn’t seem to work or is starting to have issues and completely swap to a different distro using a base I have used and know will work 100% of the time
There is no AC in the truck, and I live in Texas. Definitely can’t wait for winter (that’s the only time it’s cold)
Yeah, I knew it wouldn’t be cost effective since my old rig had an AMD RX580 8gb, but if I could play games and already have a space heater, I may as well mine crypto to heat up the whole house. Nowadays I’m just using Folding@Home during the winter
I can understand monero since you can actually use it as a currency on some certain websites, but that’s basically it. I do not care about crypto anymore because of the almost toxic culture it can brew.
Back when reddit was a thing, I asked how to even start with crypto (what type of wallet, general set up general use etc) and just didn’t even talk about the actual mining (I remember saying something around the lines of “I’m looking to mine because it’s supposed to get extra cold this winter, I do not care about actually getting any crypto” and those dense mfers kept linking a website that calculates how much I would make with the cost of electricity and the efficiently of it all… like… I didn’t even care about making anything, I just didn’t want it going into the ether)
Anyways that’s my rant
I played a casual game and got kicked. If it was ranked, I would understand, but it was casual!
