If you have a backup PC (laptop maybe?), start there. Go with something safe (Bazzite, Fedora, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.), and just try to make it your daily driver for a week. If you haven't tried Linux recently, you may be shocked at how straightforward it is. #Linux
I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop
Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

Story. We play my son "What Does the Fox Say," then Google randomly plays "Golden" after. During "Golden," my wife asks Google (Gemini) what the song playing is called. Gemini responds that it's playing "What Does the Fox Say" (obviously wrong). This is what we're destroying the earth for. #AI

The original Pixel had no camera bump, partially because it was slightly wedge shaped. Should this be explored more for current smartphones?

Underappreciated among techie people is just how important fit and finish for a product really is. My wife has a Framework 12, objectively a mid laptop in terms of specs and display. It's one of her favorite tech devices because of how polished the product is.

Looks like the Switch 2 is going for roughly $650 to $750 on the scalped market. Not as insane as I feared.

I would be shocked if the 9060 XT survives launch day with cards still in stock at close to MSRP the way the 5060 has.

I'd love to see AMD focus on bringing more SoC solutions to the market for mini PCs that can compete with the consoles' graphics capabilities. Still, this could be interesting with the GPU market being what it is.

After 13 continuous years, I have cancelled my #Netflix membership. Streaming's golden age was when it was A) a better price and B) the market wasn't segmented across so many streaming platforms.

I have a really cool #Ryzen mobile CPU coming in the next couple of weeks. It's a mobile chip packaged on an mATX motherboard. Should make for an excellent AND low power server.

A few of the things I DO with Linux Mint that have been entirely uninterrupted by the switch from Windows to Linux:
Web browsing via Chrome, Steam gaming, word processing, OBS Studio work, Bambu 3D printing, remoting into Windows server, connecting to SMB network shares

I've been running Linux Mint as my daily driver laptop OS for a few weeks now. There's been a couple of tiny hiccups here and there, but for the most part, I'm still happy with the decision to ditch Windows.
