I actually stopped using mine a long time ago, and every time I get a new laptop, I remove it. Not because I hate it, but because I like it. Even after modifying the acceleration settings to where I like them though, the repeated stress of pushing on the nub eventually start to develop dendonitis in my finger.
After I've trained myself to only use the trackpad I put the nub back on. Partly because it's so iconic it just looks wrong without it, and partly because I want to avoid conversations with guest about my growing clit graveyard (although I guess I could just not leave them in a cup on the coffee table where everyone can see)
He's perpetually stuck in his 8 year old rich kid nerd mindset. He thinks people will want to hang out with him if he has cars, rocket ships, and video games.
SteamOS plus the next gen of MSI Claw or ASUS ROG ally is going to be the absolutely superior gaming and customer experience in the coming years. There's no good reason to buy a Switch unless you need Nintendo exclusives (or have kids, and then it just makes sense).
That's the real "difference" in the Linux camps right?
Ubuntu N00bs - "what's a terminal?" vs. Arch, Gentoo, Nix, etc users who despite whatever camp you're in you know you can tell them "you need to enable the systemd service" or "add option blah to /etc/program.conf and they know what they means without further explanation.
yay -Syu, and around that time KDE had switched from plasma 5 to plasma 6, which involved moving a lot of packages into the extra repository, so you had to sit there and confirm each package move (unless you used --noconfirm).
TempleOS obviously
Nothing more shameful than someone walking and going "oh... okay... Not bad. To be honest, I expected worse". Like, bitch what the fuck you mean "not bad"? That's the cleanest that kitchen counter top has been in 6 months!
I had them.
On Saturdays.
Unfortunately with all of nvidia's bells and whistles for the new DLSS, I doubt the actual game experience will be anywhere near as comparable between the two. Anyone buying a mid range card like the 5070 or 9070 is happy to turn on things like upscaling and frame gen if it helps them get the most bang for their buck, and nvidia's tech is considerably better on that front. The only way AMD will be competitive (IMO) is if they're prices ~$100 below the Nvidia equivalent model.
Yeah, walking away from every person you've ever known and every support system you've ever had in hopes of a better future with no real promises to fall back on if it doesn't work out isn't courageous at all.
