Around late 2017 I think. I was a first year university student. I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 when I started uni, but Windows would break with just about every other update. Eventually I was fed up with it and I wanted to try an alternative OS, so I installed Linux Mint next to my Windows installation.

I quickly found myself using it more than Windows, especially since a lot of software I had to use for university was significantly easier to install on Linux (think LaTeX). Quickly, it got to the point where I only used Windows as a gaming OS.

About half a year into this "experiment", my Windows 10 decided to nuke itself, again. This time the network driver wasn't working, which is annoying af to fix, so I didn't for a long time. Also in 2018 gaming on Linux got a lot better, with Proton becoming a thing around that time. Even when I eventually got around to fixing my Windows installation, I found myself not really using it.

Eventually got into a distrohopping phase, used Fedora for quite a while, but right now I settled on Debian with Gnome as my DE. It's not the most "exciting" setup, but I found that to be a good thing actually, because it allows me to get the most work done.

Mentioning you're using NixOS is slowly becoming the new "I use arch btw", isn't it?

Discord is not usually opened, since I don' t use it regularly. So this is not it.

Yeah I doubt I will ever get another laptop with hybrid Nvidia/Intel again. Support for it has become a lot better over the years, though. I remember I used to have to log out and back in to switch between the two graphics cards.

Anyway, I found this on the Nvidia forums. The problem described is slightly different, but I think I will try this and just see if it happens ever again.

The only people who think gas stoves are superior are the ones who never tried an induction stove

I once had someone tell me abstract dreaming is linked to creativity. I think it had something to do with which side of your brain is dominant. I don't know if this is true.

As long as there is software that only runs on Windows, Windows won't die.
