Yeah I experienced it this week personally. I’m like, ‘Let’s give Linux a shot!’ So I throw on Elementary OS, dive in, and spend a good hour jazzing things up. Boom, I’ve got my regular Windows apps running no problem, and I’m patting myself on the back. Fast forward: I’m all set to do my Windows routine on Elementary, but guess what’s missing? My fancy Microsoft work tools, my go-to online games, and oh, all those cool accessories I collected that just won’t work. Time to wave the white flag and head back to Windows town, I guess

Unpopular take: If you’re into YouTube but can’t afford the premium, watching some ads ain’t so bad. I mean, YouTube’s like this treasure trove of awesome stuff, tons of valuable info for free. So catching like 30 seconds of ads here and there seems like a pretty fair trade-off

The issue lies in assuming that repairable laptops cannot be optimized to the same extent as MacBooks. However, this assumption is inaccurate. While there might have been a problem with your Asus ZenBook, I can assure you that if you were to select a Windows laptop priced similarly to a MacBook, you would find a comparable level of optimization. Additionally, there’s the added benefit that you can swap out the battery when it starts going bad and upgrade the RAM and storage if you need to in the future

I think the companies were lying to us when covid started. They said working from home was awesome and we could still do our jobs well so investors wouldn’t get scared. But now they want us to come back to the office and they say working from home is bad for us. They are just trying to trick us into doing what they want.
