Llinux is how i get my work done :^)
windows is too much of a PITA to do anything
windows is too much of a PITA to do anything
Lgames, data hoarding, backups
Li have 300 gigabytes of osu songs
Pif you give me money at https://github.com/sponsors/Perksey I can escape Windows, add Metal support to Silk.NET, and improve Silk.NET macOS support all at the same time
A3tb "homework" folder
Dlol
Lno that folder is only a couple hundred megabytes i usually just stream it off the internet
ALOL
Pyeah i think all gen z streams their homework these days
Lgoogle classroom
PEXACTLY
Dneh easier to bring your own laptop literally everywhere you go
Aeven easier if your laptop is also your desktop
Li do also have a laptop i bring everywhere, which also has linux on it, and also has no space for windows
Lfor me windows is purely a testing environment, i never do any serious work on it
Ptbh if I switch to Mac which I am genuinely considering, my plan is to just get the maxed out CPU MacBook Pro and use it for both docked desktop and on-the-go laptop use
Di only have a tb and still dual boot :)
Li cant do serious work on it, i tried, its not fun
Aah yes give apple $9999999999999999999999999999999 for a mac that will become obsolete in a few years
Dapple really has done a good job with everything only problem with mac is I don’t know any key shortcuts
Ptheir hardware support is pretty good, they're good machines i just only want to buy one because of how locked down it is
Pi don't want to buy a desktop mac and a macbook
Pwhereas i'm happy to do that with windows because upgrade paths exist without replacing the whole damn thing
Ait took me a solid moment to process that you didn't say that the only reason you wanted to buy a mac was because it is locked down
PSAYING THIS THOUGH
Pevery time i have upgraded recently
Pi have replaced the whole damn thing
Pbar the hard drives lmfao
Ahow long is your pc lifecycle? cause yeah after a certain amount of time it just makes sense to replace the whole thing
D1 year ;)
Li keep a computer for 5-7 years
Pi bought my previous build at the end of AM3+ and bought this one at the end of AM4
Lthats my track record right now
Aah
Ayeah same, its a good lifecycle imo
Lim just poor lmao
Mim planning to upgrade from my ryzen 3200g to a 5600x
Pi was only able to buy this one because of a really generous donation during covid tbf, i was prepared to hold on for another year or so
Mthe most recent am4 chip
Aget something thats almost too good for you now, then as it ages it will slowly get worse and at some point youll need to replace it
Pbut yeah given Apple tends to support Macs for 6-8 years (or longer in some cases), i'd be happy with that upgrade cycle
Pi just don't want to do it for multiple items because of the apple tax
Plike mac has got to a point where basically everything is appealing to me now except for the business practices, which are the same old
Pbut i can overlook that with enough concessions
APfalls under business practices
Alucky.
Dthey’re worth it, kind of
Ahow so
Athats an honest question
