So I am a massive fucking hypocrite. I made a long ass post talking about not wanting to use Linux a whole two months ago (or more like, why I don’t use it as much anymore), yet now, I have the urge again to fuck around with Linux. And this time, there are many reasons why.
With Epic’s decision to add the black mold to Fortnite, most of my friends ended up ditching this game for good, which pretty much made having the game installed pointless (and by extension, I got 100 GB back, yay!). There are no other games that include Linux-hostile kernel level anticheat that I am currently playing, and I don’t think I’d be playing any game in the future with such restrictions. This pretty left me with no real barriers from trying Linux again; most the software that I use everyday also runs natively on Linux; when it comes to games, aside from like, Cities Skylines, where mods don’t like Linux, run just fine on it; meanwhile among my friend group, there has been a lot of friends becoming interested into ditching Windows 11, and by extension, trying out Linux for the first time. This also motivated me into looking into the switch myself again, and maybe trying it or something. Another concern that I been having with Windows (LTSC) as of late, is the fact that Microsoft’s constant march towards AI adoption means that sooner or later, there is a possibility that there is some AI generated bug out there that will be pushed out to the LTSC update channels, which means that I would end up getting impacted sooner or later.
Another thing I been wanting to is to see how long I can use Linux full time on my computers that I own. Using it, making notes about it, and then posting these on this here blog, talking about random experiences and other cool stuff. I want to give Linux a more fair shot at working, and putting into more effort into getting things working again. Maybe there has been updates that finally fixed issues that I had while using Linux a couple months ago. I guess if I were to use Linux again, chances are I would probably stick to Fedora again. I really like Fedora, and I had a significantly better experience using Fedora, compared to something Ubuntu-based (which is the only other distro I have significant experience with), and using KDE Plasma as my desktop environment.
So uhh, maybe expect seeing more posts about Linux on this blog in the future. Maybe next weekend I will get to work and get Linux installed and working on my laptop again. Let’s see how it goes.
