I used both on HDD. They are both slow but while Mint is predictably slow and stable, Win10 can grind to a halt unexpectedly.

Yes I am cutting out my PC, not any specific OS

I can’t realistically cut off my phone entirely but reduce the number of apps installed. I currently have only Firefox, Spotify, Proton Mail and Whatsapp which could distract me. Rest is utility apps like maps, calculator, messages etc.

I don’t recall saying anything about smartphone?

I sent you my obligatory upvote.

Use EndeavourOS and set up ZRAM. ZRAM should reduce RAM usage while not slowing down your PC.

People who don’t want to / can’t tinker, usually.

I had to choose an older version of Proton

Which in turn caused the performance problems. Fast shader compilation extensions are available only on Proton 8 and newer.

Run forest RUUUNN!

If only. Systemd is mature to the point it is the de facto init system and used by almost all distros. Wayland and its compositors are still in development.

I am just a regular user but on a smaller screen ie. 13 inch 1440x900 I just have a single maximized window visible even if I have multiple apps open like web browser because I can’t see anything if I have multiple windows.

I actually like Linux defaults as they are but don’t like Windows defaults, on Windows it feels too slow to me. I have 17.3 inch 1080p display.

Smooth touchpad scrolling on Firefox is a Wayland exclusive feature. I force Wayland for Firefox only for this feature.

Two hand drag and drop looks sick!

Can you get away with old versions of Adoba suite? Latest versions typically don’t work but you may be able to get old versions running without dual boot by using Wine.

I love my “>1 year remaining” on Steam downloads.

I read a post from Netflix tech blog explaining the selection of a thumbnail. A video has many thumbnails and Netflix picks one for you depending on the shows you watch and your country. From the new profile watch movies / series that are unrelated with romance and the thumbnails should hopefully change.

Yes. I dual-boot and need everything to be accessible from Windows so I gave Windows 400 GiB while Linux only 75 GiB. Without compression I would be out of disk space. I think I hold about 95-100 GiB of data in 70 GiB. Snapshots are to revert broken updates, not to setup fresh installations. If you use a rolling release distro, they become invaluable. You can boot into snapshots if an update goes sideways.

These AI specialists will write scripts? Oh no!
