  • Last time I tried Linux for gaming was over 10 years ago. I know there is proton now which makes it easier etc. But even then I would constantly have issues with sound or drivers or some other thing that made it less “plug and play” than windows. Has this been improved in that time?

    I have a laptop thats 16gb ram and Intel iris xe but has chugged since it was forcibly upgraded to windows 11. I want to try Linux to see if day to day things would be more performant, but I dont want to add a bunch of headaches because of it

    Edit: thanks all for the great responses. It sounds like I should give it a go

    Edit2: I dove into pop os and really happy so far. Better performance doing regular browsing etc. Had to mess around to get Linux howdy to work, but otherwise very seamless. Much much improved since the last time i used Linux.










  • I dunno about funniest cause I have a terrible memory. But the other day my dog escaped out of the side gate. We didn’t notice for half and hour. When we went looking for him in the backyard, we found her patiently waiting to be left back in through the gate she escaped from.

    I looked on the cameras and saw that in that entire time. She just walked to the front patio and sat with her teddy bear in her mouth, just looking around. Then turned around and walked back to the gate to be let in.
