I use StartAllBack (I guess it's the same developer?) and love how it made File Explorer more robust again. :)

As someone who has been on Linux (openSUSE Tumbleweed) for almost 6-7 months now, I still don't understand how to get some of my programs running in Wine. I tried Bottles, and that's a little better, but it still leaves MUCH to be desired. I have two SSDs in my computer, one Windows and one Linux, and that's how I do some of my stuff. Lutris works for some things, but I generally don't like having 3-4 programs that are trying to do the same thing, but it only works on 1-2 of those programs. In my opinion, it's a little silly, but I've mainly just given up on trying to make all of that work and just boot into Windows when I need something done quickly without having to jump through hoops. I love Linux, but it is still lacking in some areas.

The best part about Linux, though, is that we can potentially fix our issues with a little bit of collaboration, whereas with Windows, you're stuck with whatever M$ wants you to have. It's something, at least! :)

I love PowerToys Run. The Command Palette is ass compared to it. PT Run is basically KRunner from KDE, and I'm absolutely here for it. Finding things (that you have properly indexed) is so fast and easy!

Haha! Thank you for the explanation! I never looked into MicroOS, because I heard of Tumbleweed and wanted to give it a go since I tried one distro (it has been so long I can't even remember right now) and didn't like it too much.

Yeah, when things are working, and it might take a day or so to setup something else completely, I definitely understand your hesitation! :)

I got a Dell computer that was headed towards the dump from some older people, and installed TrueNAS Scale onto it. It has almost replaced my Synology I got three years ago, I just need to bite the bullet and buy new drives for it!

Every time I see the girl (I don't know what this anime is) she just reminds me of Yukari from Persona 3. :P

Unfortunately, with Nintendo, nothing is yours any longer. So, I expect these types of projects to be sniped in the coming years. I know and understand what you're posting here, but Nintendo does not give a fuck any longer.

Speed running the planet to hell, I think. :/

Hey there! Isn't MicroOS for servers? It's still openSUSE, but specifically for servers. I could be wrong though! :)

Yes! I've used quite a few of the most recommended for newbies distros, and none compare (in my experience, at least) to Tumbleweed, and that's not even a "noob friendly" distro apparently!

Like you, I had issues when installing my new graphics card. Took a few days of rolling back before I found out the correct way to install their new "open-driver" variant. Been smooth sailing since, but I also haven't zypper dup since then out of fear of it all going away again. :P

Lads and lassies and everything between, it is best to make a full snapshot of your working distro BEFORE doing anything crazy like installing new drivers. TRUST ME!

Awh man.. They're infiltrating Lemmy again. :(

openSUSE Tumbleweed (and any other distros that take advantage of BTRFS and snapshots) is what made me love Linux.

I've always used Windows, but wanted to move to Linux as it is more in line with what I feel about computers, and openSUSE made that a reality for me. Fuck something up by doing what you thought was going to be a normal operational moment? No biggie! For example, sudo snapper rollback 333, and I'm back up and running after reboot. Has literally saved me and the distro a few times now.

Needless to say, I love Windows (for what it is, hate M$ though) but I am a full Linux convert now. When I log into Linux, it feels like home. When I log into Windows, it feels like someone else's home. :P
