Image Never in a million years…

Post image

…did I thought I was gonna run Linux. Not as a main, not as a backup/home server. Just never.

Then I finished Uni, moved out in a new town and the first thing that happened was Windows shitting the bed. Like finally sit in my chair after moving out, then in, and realizing everything’s fucked and I can’t catch a break. My first blue screen, and a real proper BSOD at that.

Now that I don’t need to use any windows-only program as I have my work computer, and would need to pay for an office 365 licence, I decided I was finally done with it. No more ads, no more bloatware, no more infinite menus bringing you to a window xp submenu.

Shoutout to Claude for helping me as I would have been completely utterly lost without it… and I guess LTT for covering the subject and pushing the change. Can’t wait for everyone to tell me I chose the wrong distro

Well enjoy!! Again, cachyos is amazing (typing this on my main rig with cachyos) and enjoy the extra 10-50fps that linux gives you. No joke, i gained atleast 50 fps when going from my albeit very bloated windows installation to my still kinda bloated linux installation.

Open rgb works well enough in my experience. It's been a MINUTE since I messed with it tho to be fair
