The only machine I have running Windows now is my Surface, that I need for work, so even then it is VERY sparingly used.

God I'm glad I've moved to Linux full time now, Microsoft is a shitshow. When was the last time we saw a company actively hate their users THIS much?

I wager I personally only have about four or five weeks of life left at this point before I actually just end this shit.
I’m so fucking sick of having literally every thought and feeling I have completely discredited and ignored. I’m so, so sick of being alive.

It’s kind of adorable ngl that Microsoft think that I’m going to switch to Windows 11 when they pull the plug on 10. Like oh honey, no.

Doing some more Mint testing with one of my Mini PCs today. Going to try running some more graphically intensive games on Steam and seeing how Proton fares.

If/When I do end up killing myself, I'm sure my parents will say something along the lines of "There were never any signs!"
Because it's easier to ignore there's any issue at all than it is to actually give a shit.

I do still kinda feel like death is the only way out of this job. Every morning I pray for a truck to hit me and kill me instantly.

Took <20 minutes to stand up a Mint install on one of my miniPCs. This will be a good test platform since it’s a Ryzen 9 6900HX, my next full desktop build will be Red/Red and AMD have the best Linux driver support.

Investigating running Mint as my desktop OS of choice for my gaming PC once MS ends support for Windows 10 in October. So far so mid? Everything runs through Proton so it remains to be seen how performance is impacted.

16:10 is the superior aspect ratio for monitors and laptops, and I am forever pissed that manufacturers caved and switched to 16:9. I was pissed in 2010, and I'm pissed now.

The drastically differing standards for USB-C cables will never cease to infuriate me. How can you call 480gbps "Fast Data Transfer" in 2025. That's USB 2 speeds bro. Eat a dick.
