  • I watched LTT for years, since we were the same age, and NCIX was my local computer shop.

    I noticed a steep decline in quality as LMG got bigger, and a greater focus on personalities and entertainment rather than substance. There’s a market for that, and it appeals to the less knowledgeable or as an entry to tech as a hobby, or even people who just want tech-adjacent entertainment. I can’t deny the reach and impact this team has, but the content isn’t for me anymore.










  • I left windows years ago. I only need it for a couple really restrictive apps, so I dual boot, but I only boot in every few months.

    I stopped playing games that use aggressive anticheat as well. 99% of the games I was playing work great, all I lost really was Fortnite and destiny 2, which is worth my sanity dealing with Windows nonsense.

    I e been telling people who switch to; think of it like moving house. When you move to a new house, the bathroom isn’t in the same place and the kitchen is different, it’s up to you whether the new location is better or not. If you expect your new house to have all the same rooms in all the same places as your old house you’ll always be disappointed the whole time. Linux is a different house, pick a house that suits your needs and you’ll be happy.

    This reminds me when my mom told my dad Netflix didn’t serve their area because she didn’t want another bill.

    He told me that and I was like “Well…” and my mom just yelled from the other room “I JUST CALLED THEY’RE TRYING FOR NEXT YEAR.” so I shut up.


  • Imo, your biggest enemy here is going to be battery life. I bought a sale-priced Lenovo t14s and I always keep a battery back in my bag just in case.

    With a low power profile, having Eclipse open, a web browser to view slides/ documents and Logseq for notes my battery lasts most of the day but if I forget to charge it, it’s a pain to use pen and paper for notes.

    An older laptop will have a degraded battery, and you really want maximum lifetime with multiple classes in a day.
