We discover a new species. what’s the first thing we do? We put it in a cage.

Humanity in a nutshell.

Linux isn’t there yet.

How do I know? because I JUST tried to move over to linux.

First I tried Zorin OS, and TBH it pretty much worked right out of the box.

BUT!

My monitor would only go up to 120hz Refresh rate, even though it can do 144hz natively. And games that are supposed to work on Linux (Arma 3) did not work no matter what I did. And forget about VR.

So I tried Arch.

And Jesus Christ…

Zorin was as easy to install as windows.

ARCH is actively trying to stop you from installing it.

So I did what most people do and youtube’d how to install Arch and oh my god, I encountered the living embodiment of the “Linux user meme” so hard when I did that.

But I finally was sort of able to get it up and running. Of course there are no list of packages that you will need for the smooth operating of Arch. Like I dunno, how about a file manager?

So I said fuck it and was going to try to install steamOS. but I fucked up formatting the drives and USB drive.

Fortunately, I had an old windows installer kicking around and finally able to get windows re-installed.

So my opinion for now is simply “Not ready for prime time… yet.”

But when it does maybe I will give it another try.
