My man were talking about hardware from like the 90s lol. Linux is amazing on keeping old hardware going, but even it has to move on at some point.

Reverse proxy is what you need. I would post instructions here but honestly they wouldnt be that good. Just search it up and follow along.

This really isn’t a W. Even though I don’t play any of these games, Ive had friends who have had a real interest in switching to Linux, but didn’t because they couldn’t play LOL or Valorant.

It’s not really linux’s fault by any means, but it’s no W.

I would go with debian with a light weight desktop. If you have issues after that maybe puppy Linux?

It works fine for general planning. There’s even a random button if you just don’t want to choose.

I have a jank home assistant automation that adds my meal plans into my Google Calendar as well.

The specs vs the price does match up.

I don’t know why people downvoting your for saying what’s actually happening.

Still a dumb decision that they’re changing it though.

Look at the whole meme lmao

To be fair, I’ve 100% had issues with #1,#3, and #4 with Linux as well.

I’ve been using Fedora KDE since V40.

I have had some weird issues in the past where a network adapter randomly won’t work on startup a few years back, but haven’t had issues since.

Also back when I had a Nvidia GPU, I remember it having issues updating drivers due to not waiting long enough before restarting even though it said update complete and causing the driver the not work properly.

Those are really the only issues I’ve had with it, mostly just works for me personally.

Does windows let you control external monitor brightness at all? I don’t think ive ever seen the option for external displays.

After switching between distros for 8+ years and settling on Fedora KDE, I don’t think I’ve ever had SELinux get in my way for anything.

I can only think of the South Park cock magic episode.

I know a lot of you don’t care if these games run or not, but really does suck they don’t. I’ve talked to quite a few people that wouldn’t switch to Linux because X game doesn’t run on it.

It is a work device. I was just allowed to use fedora until now.

Thanks for the info guys, good stuff!

Those of you who are telling me to look for a new workplace over an OS change are a bit crazy though lol. It’s not quite that bad.

Definitely not worth it over and OS change. It does suck though

Issue is I won’t be able to sign into my work’s SSO due to it requiring the device to be entra enrolled after the change :(

It was on a work issued device already, so I can’t complain too much. Still sucks though after using it for so long.
