    Ahh got it thx

    Someone who gives up without even googling will def have that problem. But I for myself see the intervals in which my machine breaks increase a lot (and it’s not only because of more experience) and especially immutables could decrease the risk to break Linux to a point where it is close to zero (with the nice side effect that it is easier to maintain for both the pc admin and the distro manufacturer).

    Also: My experience (and that may differ a lot from the normie perspective) is that as soon as you are able to check forums for help with software at least the beginner friendly/popular distros are less painful to fix when your Windows pc got screwed. And the overall tone in Linux forums has softened a lot compared to when I first briefly tried a distro in 2016 (I returned in 2020 during the pandemic because I had the time and proton had been announced).

    Good call, you wouldn’t need the cooler. Wasn’t sure if the CPU comes packaged with one but apparently it does.

    Tbh if I wanted to spend a bit more I personally would go for a 4TB HDD too instead of 2TB and maybe a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD alongside the 32GB RAM

    I made a build that would have included all of that alongside a Ryzen 7 5800X but that build would have been around 1000$ so quite a stretch from the 800$ mark.

    (Tbh it would still fair better than the PS5 Pro if you were to purchase PS+ Essential for more than 3 years - with Extra and Premium it’s even worse and since PC games are usually cheaper the free games & discounts don’t really seal the deal for me)

    I am wondering, what is enjoyable about Windows/Microsoft?

    The slow & buggy UI?

    The blue screens due to crappy drivers or bc they fucked something up?

    The way they erase any customisability, essentially forcing their users to adapt their vision of how a computer should be operated?

    How they are coming up with great ideas such as taking system snapshots and having AI analyze them?

    The updates that randomly decide to install and then take an eternity with the end user not being able to use their PC whilst an update is taking place?

    The 10.000 different ways of updating software?

    How they are blatantly ripping off features whilst marketing them as their own ideas?

    The way they are turning it more and more into an advertising platform for their own products?

    The $139.00 license fee for everything I just mentioned?

    Like, the only enjoyable thing I can think of is software availability but thanks to WINE / Proton this advantage is becoming less and less relevant.

    Flatpak was designed to be decentralised, Flathub is just the main repository offering flatpaks and yes, probably 99% of all Flatpak applications are downloaded via the main repo but it is technically possible to just launch your own if you are unhappy with the main repo. The Flatpak team literally has this info page for hosting a repository

    I for example, am taking AAGL from their own flatpak repo because they are not offering their launcher via the main one (even tho they also tell you to link the main repo - I guess for dependency reasons - but theoretically you could open your own repo and throw all dependency related packages in there or am I getting something wrong here)
