  • Plenty of video games that will not run on Linux simply because of stuff like anticheat. Like Apex Legends (ran fine for a while but got blocked again recently) and Valorant, just to name 2 I’m personally aware of that’s stopping some of my friends from going to Linux.

    You can say that dual booting would fix that, and my bf actually does that, but that’s obviously not a workable solution to the vast majority of people.

    As long as games like that won’t run on Linux it’s simply impossible for a lot of people to switch.

    Yeah it’s a pretty painful task to learn a new layout. I’ve done it 3 times, going from QWERTY -> Dvorak -> BEAKL15 -> Graphite, it’s been a pretty awful experience each time. Especially the latest one, as I actually have a job now where I type a lot. There was a period of about a month where I slowly forgot my old layout and needed to build speed with my new one pretty quickly.

    But, if you ever are looking to switch, I can definitely recommend Graphite as keyboard layout for developers. I personally swapped X and J to make it more dutch-friendly, but other than that it’s been excellent for comfort.













  • Awful. I often take 1-2 hours to manage to fall asleep and I always wake up feeling absolutely fucked, usually taking at least another hour to get out of bed.

    Add it all up and I usually end up wasting ~3 hours of my life every single day on sleep. I’ve tried pretty much anything under the sun short of nuclear options like Ambien (which I’m terrified of), nothing seems to help.
