  • Ubuntu at the start of my college years, dabbled with Arch in the senior year. Huge learning experience, but ultimately I went back to Windows because gaming support was nonexistent at the time. Kept the dual boot up and kept it running Arch during the day for coursework, Windows when I was all done.

    For the past decade since then I was entirely back on Windows. Aside from an Ubuntu VM for my last job, I didn’t really get back into it until the Steam Deck launched a few years ago, and at the start of this year I decided to set up a dual boot again once I got a new full new desktop build. Tried Bazzite, really didn’t like how restricted I felt, immediately wiped it and tried out CachyOS instead, and that’s my daily driver today.

    And just this past week I finally decided got into selfhosting, something I’ve been eyeballing for ages but never really got around to. Proxmox on the host, Debian VM, pretty standard and works amazingly.



  • I set up a dual boot over the winter, I’ve gone back to windows maybe 3 times at most.

    I’ll still keep it around in case I ever decide to dabble in games that use rootkit anticheat (though since quitting destiny 2 I don’t see that happening lmao) and for other very occasional utility, but I’m definitely thinking of shrinking that partition even further




  • I’ve always sworn by Arch builds. Built one up from scratch back in college ten years ago, and this past winter I decided I wanted to try a linux box again. After a bit of distro hopping I settled on CachyOS, but Endeavor caught my eye too.

    Shit breaks, but fixing it is a learning experience. Small price to pay in exchange for the customization it offers.
