I’ve messed around with Linux for a long time, but daily driver? It’s only really been the last year or so and I gotta say, it kicks ass. Windows can lick my balls. macOS is definitely better than Windows, but Apple has been also letting the influence of ads and services revenue enshittify their OSes. I also don’t love the tighter controls around app installation.

Since we’re talking about a degradation of freedom around app installs, android is on the same path as macOS in that regard and it’s stupid. Both on an individual basis, and for enterprise. You can’t seriously expect enterprises to use the google play for enterprise system, right? Come on.

Anyway. I’ve been using Bazzite for a while, and I just got a new powerhouse of a desktop thanks to my position at work, and I decided to go cachyOS. It’s a little bit inconvenient not hating a convenient App Store, but I knew that was how it worked and decided I wanted to lean into the Linux experience of using pacman in CLI for app installs. It’s not been hard at all actually.

Oh, and thanks to Steam Deck, I really just got stuck with KDE Plasma for a DE. I like it. It’s a little bit windows-y, but tbh I’m not all that picky.
