    Everytime I want to do something that I can only do in windows, I really have to consider if it’s worth dealing with windows to do it.

      I just switched to using a vm for that. If windows fucks up or acts up, freezes, literally anything not to my liking I nuke it.

    Linux corrupted. Windows update failed and crashed. GRUB has a fatal error.

    My computer is dead.

    Every time I think about my Windows installation I think about AHK and get a little sad. It’s the only software I regret leaving. But then I remember my comfy i3 config, and get over it.

      It’s largely going to depend on your window manager or compositor,

      But you can achieve similar results using python and your WM’s hotkey options

      Kde plasma has really good hotkey options

        Exactly, what can AHK do that a generic plasma shortcut plus a script in your language of choice couldn’t?
        Genuine question, I haven’t looked at AHK in years

    You actually reminded me I have a Windows 100Go partition. I reduced its size but really, based on when I last boot on it, I should really delete it.

    ROFL Dual booting with Microsoft being as shitty as they are…Yeah, no. I very much am 100% committed to Linux on my Desktop. I might only make a small concession to getting a Mac Mini for iPhone management.

        They’re gradually phasing out the iTunes PC App…Apple has divided the functions of iTunes into several focused apps. The second reason why I’d love to get a Mac Mini is to get my music redownloaded. I didn’t back up my tunes on another hard drive, which was a beginner mistake. I did upload it to Apple Music, though.
