2009 i started studying computer science. Having windows on my Laptop wasnt helpful when compiling c, that was my first encounter with Linux (especially Ubuntu). Was running Xubuntu most of the time because i didnt like Unity.

Stopped using Linux after finishing my degree, since Linux wasnt useful for gaming or my work.

Skip forward to 2020. Hadnt really used Linux for anything for years, then windows 11 was announced. Didnt like where this was going and tested out Manjaro, since gaming on linux was supposed to be “okay”.

Didnt like Manjaro and tried out EndeavourOS. All games that mattered at the time ran good. Switched to AMD graphics, deleted windows completly from my drive and use Linux exclusivly for private usage.

Also installed EndeavourOS on my work laptop and use a Windows VM if needed.

I dont want to go back to using windows for daily stuff ever

His story about the rubber ducks is awesome

Rowan Atkinson. I’m unable to watch Mr Bean or Blackadder with a straight face. Everything he does is comedy gold.

Also the one and only Robin Williams, may he rest in peace. Watched his stand up program and spilled my drink multiple times

I watched “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King” a total of 6 times in cinema (and the extended edition countless times on DVD since then) and still think very fondly of the experience. Just experiencing the awe when the beacons were lit and the camera flew through the mountains and the mind blowing moment when the Riders of Rohan appear on the horizon.

When the extended edition came out on dvd, i watched the whole trilogy at least once a year

There is a difference between “supported” and “works”

I replaced my Nvidia with an AMD graphics card last year. Ever since ive been using Wayland on KDE Plasma without any issue. I have 2 VRR Monitors connected with different refresh rates, which felt clunky on X11 and now feels fluid and just brilliant to use. I don’t use X11 Sessions at all anymore and only have XWayland for stuff that requires it

Polonium - autotiling for KDE 5.27. Ever since KDE Plasma broke Bismuth on wayland, i’ve been running with bare Plasma. Polonium is the first project to work (mostly) as Bismuth used to, although it’s just one developer working on it as far as i understood and it still has a bunch of bugs. But really looks promising.

Also, KDE 6 (which will break everything again probably) :D

I use mostly KDE plasma, especially for gaming, but sometimes switch to Hyprland for online Pen and Paper, since i prefer the automated tiling when opening tons of documents
