• I only keep Windows at home because simulator peripherals can be more headache than I’m ready to deal with when I just want to pretend to drive a truck or a tractor for a bit

  I mean, they can be set up, but without the vendor software that only runs on Windows, it can be really kludgy

• Hey, “bad performance” is still a kind of performance!

• Yeah, liking zypper so far, except that it decided I must have forgotten to install the games and kde-games patterns which I deselected during install because I’ll never use them (my games are pretty much all on steam, I’ve got no real interest in the built-in ones). Blocked them but now it’s warning me about that every time I update, which is a bit obnoxious, but I’m sure I’ll either figure it out or learn to not care about that

• Yeah, the sneaky crap with snaps makes me want to avoid them all by itself, I left Windows to get away from that kind of forced decision. The Amazon thing was pretty bad too.

  The last straw came when I evaluated it vs Debian for a home server, first update after install and it threw a scare warning making it sound like my system would be insecure if I didn’t pay for pro, and I’m just so not into that kind of manipulative bullshit. I shut down the VM and deleted it immediately and I’ll never touch them by choice again.

• Didn’t think I’d like it that much but so far I’ve really been happy with it

• It does also update Cinnamon add-ons (spices I think?) and Flatpaks, which apt doesn’t handle
