I can’t speak for everyone but I used to say “I can’t drop windows because I need XYZ programs all the time”.

Well turns out I don’t, and turns out it’s surprisingly easy to tell my employer (well my professor really, I am a PhD student) “Sorry I can’t run that program, I don’t have windows”. If they don’t accept it, they can supply me with a windows PC.

Maybe you can’t but I definitely can, flawlessly. Only thing is once I close a game I have to restart the scream.

I hate Spotify (I have to preface with this sentence)

But plenty of artists these days don’t bother releasing CDs and MP3s and you can legitimately only stream their songs.

I know small artists who were unable to send me the files of their own songs when I asked them. They just sent me a YouTube link and told me to listen there.

I’ve definitely had to handle 30gb plain text files before so I am inclined to believe twice as much should be just as possible

In my personal experience void linux ran the smoothest on all my old laptops (compared to stuff like arch and antiX, I defo didn’t try everything).
