I've been linux-curious on-and-off for years. I've toyed with it several times but always gone back to Windows eventually. I have a laptop with a 7th gen Intel CPU that is not supported on Windows 11, so I decided to wipe it and threw the latest version of Linux Mint on it. Everything (except for a fingerprint reader) worked straight out of the figurative box, and I've been happily running it on that machine for about 6 months now. I think Mint is a good choice if you want a simple windows-like experience.

I still have a desktop PC running Windows for games and Adobe Lightroom and stuff, but I won't be going back to Windows on that laptop.

Same shit happened when the Steam Deck released in 2022 as well. A bunch of them disappeared into FedEx. Fortunately, Valve promptly took care of anyone who was affected.

Same. Battery life gone to shit on my SE since WatchOS 10 too.

We've got a Sandwich in Illinois too! They were smart enough to mark their vehicles "POLICE - Sandwich, IL" though.

The ads I see on my kindle lock screen all seem to be for garbage AI-generated books.

The only movie I saw in a theater in the past couple of years was Oppenheimer, just because I had some friends that wanted to go. I way prefer watching stuff at home. I have a nice setup and I can pause to go take a piss whenever I want, and I don't have to deal with obnoxious idiots in the room.

Hold on to them and sell them in the future when scarcity makes them valuable again.

you can set separate resolutions for your laptop's built-in screen and your external display, unless you're just mirroring the display to both.
