Yeah, I switched my desktop and laptop for work and never looked back. As time goes on I’m learning more and more how to fix any oddities or bugs and find myself less and less familiar with Windows bullshit. I have one windows install in a VM to adjust my camera because it just refuses to work with Linux, but I set it and forget it. It’s so so so much nicer and runs nice and snappy on my cheep work laptop that barely booted the windows 11 it came with.

Just mint or fedora, you’ll be fine.

The year of text based only Unix?

A couple months ago Glock redesigned their pistols to mechanically block the ability for people to stick a cheep part in it that makes it effectively shoot full auto. About 24 hours later someone worked out a way around it.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. This shit will be cracked by the end of the week it goes into effect.

For creating models: Blender is tops, openSCAD and Open CAD are good but a lot more technical.

For basic stuff, most slicers have objects and negative connects that you can sculpt I’ve something functional. I made a basic model last week for a thing I needed only in the slicer.

For slicer software: sometimes 3d printer brands customize a more common software to tune it to the specific machine. I’m a fan of Orca, but Cura and PrusaSlicer are also really good.

All of these are available as FOSS on Linux.

Immutable?

Well, I’m not entirely clear on what snapshots are so you’re doing better than me and I haven’t been on windows in a few years now lol!

Idk, but my install offers a version rollback at the bootloader. Had a weird graphics issue after an update, so I just used an older version for a week or so till a new update fixed it.

I chuckled about this like the sicko that I am, then remembered my server is an old Intel… Fuk

Come to think of it, isn’t Intel CPUs running some kind of Linux like… The backbone of the entire Internet?
