Okay so I have been very unhappy with windows and chrome for a while but never really felt like I had the means to do anything about it. Well I finally enabled Linux on my Chromebook and began looking through the capabilities.
Dear people of tumblr, if you have any PSAs, important info graphics, helpful tips, etc. regarding making the transition to Linux a bit smoother that would be super helpful to me rn! Also, feel free to share any of your favorite things about Linux and its uses or features (might allow myself and others to find more uses).
Over the past couple years Windows 10 has been giving me progressively more asinine problems to deal with, from desktop issues and bloatware, to automatically installing out of date drivers to replace the ones I've manually installed.
Before you ask, I attempted using Windows 11 when it came out and I refuse to acknowledge its existence after the hell it put me through.
Most recently Windows 10 has seemingly made a point of making ASIO and all audio devices and software I use functionally useless, causing ridiculous amounts of crackling audio. No rollbacks fixed it, no re-installs fixed it, not even Reloading Windows fixed it. The reason for using ASIO is that Windows default audio protocol, WDM, has too much latency for live real-time use. This issue not only makes things like live-streaming basically impossible but it also outright made my Digital Audio Workstation and Video Editing Software incapable of processing audio for longer than a second without hanging. Both Mixcraft and DaVinci Resolve became useless on Windows 10, and OBS was barely holding it together. When I tell you I did everything to resolve this, I mean I spent an entire Month troubleshooting this. The only solution I could find was to abandon Windows all together.
I've been meaning to switch my Setup to Mint Cinnamon for a while as I've been testing it out in Virtual box for a year or so, and after this nonsense I got a new NMVe basically immediately to run Mint on, and after switching properly I have to say I'm likely to never use Windows as my Host OS again. And yes I tested Windows on the NMVe. The issue persisted there aswell. And testing Mint via Virtual Box on Windows with Hardware Exposed via PAE and AMD-V showed the issue was entirely on Windows.
For reference this is my current rig:
Everything is the same as when using Windows 10
GPU: Nvidia RTX a4500 20gb
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600g
Ram: 16GB 3200mhz
DAC: PreSonus Audiobox iTwo
Capture Card: AverMedia HD Mini GC311
The Results:
Not only does Mint Cinnamon not have any of the issues I've had with Windows over the past Decade, which still persist to this day, but literally every single device I have just works.
Basically everything is Plug-n-Play with <20ms of latency on the Capture Card, which on Windows had a minimum of 600ms delay using drivers required for the card to even be detected. My Audio interface also works even better than before, with neither my DAC or Capture Card requiring manual driver installs, as their protocols are Native to the Linux Kernel.
Proton lets you play any Windows game on Steam that doesn't have explicit Linux Support, with Wine available for desktop applications. Both run better than a Native Windows install due to Mints lack of Bloatware.
Windows 10 has so much built-in Overhead that Mint can Emulate it through Virtual Box faster than if Win10 were the Host OS.
In Short: Fuck Windows. :)
Also this is how my desktop looks currently:
So far, the programming course i'm in is going well and i'm learning a lot of new stuff, but something caught my eye this week.
As i was following instructions on installing an Operating System, namely Linux, i saw something that probably shouldn't be there.
I couldn't believe my eyes, as i did a douuble take..
...One piece of "software" stands out, and i need not to name it.
I apologize in advance, but such manifestation of power is frightening at times, so,
@the-gnomish-bastard What shenanigans might have you been up to for you to extend your reach to the digital realms of Linux?
Eventually I think i am gonna have to branch of into side blogs but for now, how yall liking this tomfoolery salad? You eating good? Great idc, more Linux posting
La méthode Netinstall se distingue par sa légèreté et son efficacité. Cette approche repose sur un fichier d'installation minimal qui télécharge les paquets nécessaires directement depuis les dépôts en ligne.
