Holy shit. I just remembered using windows and I think im going to be sick.
systemd-shutdown[1]: Waiting for process: ...
Just don't use systemd. Use Void Linux and Runit
Artix-dinit for me and still waiting for Alpine to switch to s6 for server.
Btw, why is it that there are lots of rolling release but no stable release distros with Dinit/S6/Runit? There's Devuan but they do their own weird mix of Runit and SysV. Not like they are brand new, all except Dinit have 10 years+.
Void calls itself a stable rolling release and I must say I find it pretty stable
Yeah, trying Void as server currently.
I shutdown once in a blue moon and even then don’t see this message often.
At work I use windows, at home I use Linux. They both have their annoyances. Linux more because of availability of apps natively running. And windows more because windows is painful to use as a power user.
I also use Linux at home and am forced to use Windows at work. I disagree with Linux being more annoying, I've fully embraced the mindset that open source/Linux supported software is the only software that exists and I haven't had any issues since I switched years ago.
Of course if you really really need some specific software for some niche that doesn't have a perfect open source equivalent that's a harder pill to swallow for some.
I'm much happier on Linux, my windows work PC is nothing but a pain to use.
I'm still a relative noob with Linux and I find stuff "breaks" more on Linux ('breaks' as in does something I don't want it to), nursing and it can take me a while to fix those things because I'm still learning. It takes a while in part because I want to actually understand what's going wrong (and how to fix it), rather than just doing the thing.
With Windows, when it's doing something I don't want it to, it's usually a much more straightforward troubleshooting process because often, it's a problem I can't solve. The stuff I can change is quicker because I have more experience with Windows, but overall, the experience is much more frustrating because of all the stuff I need to tolerate. It makes it feel like my computer isn't my own.
Fair, definitely a learning curve and I can definitely sympathize with trying to fix things in Linux, I have had my fair share of why is that doing that, I just find that more tolerable than windows lol.
Yes of course! And we always have Wine. I had a situation yesterday where I needed to remove some triangles (millions needed to be removed) from an STL file and there is a native app for window. On wine Linux it runs super slow. But...I don't have a windows machine right now. So I had to buckle up for slow rendering of my triangles lol
Windows is harder to use as a casual user
The only thing it really gets right are forced updates but the updates it gives aren’t great
Yeah, I feel like Linux is easier for casual and better for power users, Windows favors people in the middle.
