It’s heavy to give up on something after 8 years but power to you for sticking to your guns, your energy will be far better spent elsewhere.

At least it’ll do wonders for the used market, hopefully.

I love the idea of peppermint OS but it didn’t work properly on my laptop both times I tried it, first time it wouldn’t install any of the extras I selected during the install process and the second time using the Debian 12 base it just straight up wouldn’t give me an option to install extras and the window would instantly close when I tried to open it. I really love the ideology behind it and it is a speedy OS but I’ve ended up going to LMDE instead while I toy with the idea of Arch.

Z is a fantastic game but some of the levels infuriated me, no matter how well I played the AI seemed to have an answer… Turned out the difficulty goes up a notch after each loss since the devs expected you to git gud.

Give uMatrix a try over NoScript, there’s a bit of a learning curve to it but it’s a lot more powerful.

Windows 10 LTSC is the way to go if you absolutely have to use Windows, I’d love to use Linux on my gaming rig but Assetto Corsa + my simracing hardware doesn’t play nice at all.
