I installed mint on my second PC, and it's great. I feel like migrating my main, but I'm not sure it would go smoothly. I've had a lot of issues with my four months old Ubuntu install, lately the keyboard is nonfunctional at the login screen about half the time. Snaps are another reason making me want to leave it behind.
For me it was Wolfmother at a major German festival. I didn’t really know them before and did not expect too much, but was totally blown away by their performance.
Queen, news of the world tour, opening with "we will rock you". Second is ELO and Kansas with a deadly laser light show. Nothing else has come close. I am old.
It's because out of the box there's often issues. For example, my setup with a 3080 booted to a black screen at login. Only futzing in the command prompt via grub let me install the correct driver, and it's been fine ever since then.
Not only are they stupidly repetitive, they are loud. They do make me look for other stations. I've found I can mess with them sometimes using the home button, it can pause the marketing BS for a good minute.
Copilot sounds amazing on paper. The free (to 365 subs) version on the web is just Chat GPT4, so that’s familiar enough. The integration with 365 applications is really what grabs me. Stuff like tossing it 10 spreadsheets and asking it to analyze and compare the data, having a virtual assistant to remind me of upcoming...
Dual boot is the gateway I stepped through many years ago. It's been months now since I chose team MS. I do lot of dev, gaming, and media work, and it's all faster on the linux side. With the recent forced data mining "feature" update, I really doubt I'll keep it around for my next upgrade.
So I'm just offering dual boot may be a good scenario. And also, popping in another drive is better than messing with your windows drive.
I never felt there was a good reason for this app, they sell stuff online, and that works just fine in a browser without an app spying on my every move.

I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver.

Same as you, in IT forever, ...I switched, and I'm never going back. It's fast, and it's brought the joy back for me. Nvidia needs to do better, but that was the only difficulty I had.
I've been a customer for decades, including large format, and my newish HP is waiting to be recycled. It's print quality wasn't great, and the HP ink I bought that worked well for months stopped working due to what must be a chip error. Who has time for that nonsense? I won't even sell it, I don't want to push the misery on someone else.
Jokes on you buddy, I've ditched my HP printers because of this nonsense. They literally locked me out of a printer all of a sudden after an update, deciding my cartridge bought from HP was no longer valid. Not to mention, just sitting there the inks use themselves up, I'm guessing just drying out from crappy design.

When I have a movie in HD and 4k, it's really simple to add a dash after each filename, which let's the user choose which to play. (such as Moviename - HD and Moviename - UHD4K. This does not work for shows. How can I get the same experience for shows as for movies, where I see one episode, but can choose the format to watch?
