Dojan

Yeah. But this already happens, unfortunately.

A couple of weeks ago I rebooted into Windows for the first time in well over 8 months, as I needed to use a piece of software I don’t have on Linux (it’s available, I’m just refusing to pay for it and no alternative method has materialised), and getting anything done was incredibly frustrating.

First everything had to update, and I was forced to log in to a bunch of stuff. My web browser spontaneously vanished, as did Discord. No idea why. Opening Explorer consistently took several seconds because it always decided to poll my external drive before displaying anything, even if I didn’t do shit in my external drive.

Explorer being slow applies on my work PC too, and I have to use Windows on that. Every day I wonder how it’d be to put Linux on it.

Nautilus just opens the moment I click on it. Always.

I hate Discord with a passion. Trying to get everyone I know away from it.

I’ve never been accused of being a smart man.

I worry that the replacement is more likely a move to platforms like Discord. I mean it’s already happened in a lot of projects.

I feel like talk about Wayland being the next big thing, “coming soon” began back when I was using Linux as my daily driver over ten years ago.

It’s still not widely used?

Maybe they have a six year old phone and are interested in upgrading? I don’t think that many people are doing yearly upgrades nowadays, it’s expensive and pointless.
