I only use windows at work rn so I don’t really get into the guts of it much. It works well enough most of the time but I’ve had to adjust and most of the adjustments are dealing with annoyances like the start menu. I also can’t just install arbitrary apps to solve all the issues. I appreciate the points you’ve made but I’ve largely found the usability of this OS to be meaningfully worse than Windows 10 and incomparably worse than my recent linux experience.
I haven’t really had any of these issues. Those would certainly be enough to push me away. I know I was having somewhat similar issues with consuming the content before enabling hardware acceleration. I haven’t tried changing audio tracks so idk there. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having a bad time
Curious about your issues with jellyfin? Ive been using it basically issue free for a few months
I take issue with the settings menu still relying on the old menus while having shuffled things around so I’m forced to look for settings. I don’t really bother with tabbed file explorer because it doesn’t bother saving my last open folders. I can’t speak to dark mode.
I can say that the start menu is horrendously slow, it can take up to 5 seconds for it to load. Sometimes keystrokes disappear in the start menu only to magically appear some time later. They made the right click menu worse and only changeable in regedit. They made RDP credentials only saveable using CMD. They removed vertical taskbars. There are a lot of issues in going to windows 11 for me.
I’m sure there are some improvements but at work we have a wiki page on how to unfuck up windows 11 so it works how you expect it to.
Ctrl + alt + t opens a terminal in most DE I’ve used as well
As a user you can’t access the filesystem. It’s completely abstracted away. At least this was the case for the iPhone 6
There’s plenty to read up on but I think starting with any is a good place. You’ll find stuff you dislike. I’d recommend setting up ventoy on a USB (it will let you have several linux images on one thumb drive) and testing out most importantly the desktop environment (DE).
Main ones being KDE, GNOME, and cinnamon that comes with Mint (which is a great first distro to test).
If you end up having questions feel free to DM me
I can’t seem to access the article
Been with purely mail for about a year and it’s been great!
Private trackers. I think common ones. If you search them with “tracker” you’ll probably find them.
Lots of support already but I made it switch in December last year and no regrets. There’s a bit of a learning curve getting used to a new environment but the computer actually becomes a tool you can shape to your needs rather than changing how you work so your computer will do it.
Idk if I noticed that explicitly but I would believe it. The grenade throws early game are also disgusting. Pixel perfect hit your whole team lol
I’ve been immensely impressed with DOS2 AI. If an enemy is sleeping, another enemy will use part of its turn to hit the enemy to wake it up. There were several instances where I paused and just stared awestruck
I use win11 at work sadly so I’m stick with it there. I find the new context menu unusable so I prefer the old one
I’m using 7zip on win11. You need to get into the old context menu to see it tho. You can edit the registry to make the old one the default too.
No idea why it’s a registry edit but Microsoft will do what they will
PIA also allows port forwarding but its a random port
I suppose not needing to grind for better gear would be nice. I think I want my next play through to be a repeat of the first and the grinding was part of the 💫 experience 💫
But I can’t relive that experience so maybe sergey hax is the way to go.
As to iconoclasts, Nothing gameplay wise is similar but the characters/dialogue seem reminiscent of what crosscode brings to the table, which to me was a big part of my enjoyment.
Sorry for the late reply. I think I watched a video with these. I think playing with sergey hax would overall detract from doing a second play through but the extra dialogues/expressions are spectacular.
I’m currently playing through iconoclasts which was recommended as having some similarities to crosscode and I see them. Been having a good time so far with it.
That said, it’s very difficult to compare with Lea
I’ve watched gameplay for SOTFS but I played vanilla and maybe both DLC I think.
Can also grab a PCB + case for a 60% if that’s up your alley. Not exactly a kit but you can definitely put the parts together. Note that if you want more than a 60%, most PCBs and cases must go together.
