I feel personally attacked by this post!

Even though I wasn't a fan of their modified Gnome DE, I really like the distro as a whole. It made it seamless to use both AMD and Nvidia cards, Steam worked out of the box, and I had no issues with using Ubuntu or Debian repos. I'm not sure whether I'll use Cosmic or not, but I'll probably give it a fair try eventually.
My friend has probably this exact TV in their family home until probably the early 2000s. I bet it was because no one wanted to move it.
Untrue, they also work in Nethack and other rogue-likes!
Our sister company had their VPN broken by this and we had to switch to another system. Even though it wasn't a particularly secure VPN (IPSec), the builtin Windows VPN was extremely reliable and convenience compared to shit like Pulse.
Probably a bit late, but I really like Quod Libet. It is very extensible, runs light, has excellent tagging and filtering, and just feels similar enough to how I set up my foobar2000.
I have always loved FB2K, but I didn't like using it in linux. It was slow to start (which is snap's fault) and was tough to get working in a stable state once I started trying to use components that I prefer (probably wine's fault, but who knows).
I've lived through this one. Fixing it required me taking a full day off to suffer.
I switched from Win7 to Linux, but you are right, few stuck to their guns on that threat. My only Windows machine now is a work laptop that I have to use for some tasks. Admittedly, even Win 10 is looking good now compared to Win11. MS is doing a bang up job as being consumer antagonists.
I have used an GTX 3070 with no issues for the past 3.5 years, before that I used an AMD Vega 64 with no issues. I think if I were buying a new card and could stomach the prices I'd lean towards a Radeon 7900 XTX.
I played through the public test quite a bit with a friend. This is a really good (and difficult) update.
