    I ditched windows 12 years ago and never looked back. Its gotten easier every year and I rarely if ever have to tinker with anything. It just works. Ive had the same arch (btw) install the whole time just moving the image to new computers whenever I upgrade hardware.

      I think I have replacements, equivalents, or Linux versions for most of my software, it’s mainly the graphics drivers that suck with multiple displays. It constantly forgets the layout or leaves one of the displays inaccessible or just blank.

      I also use DisplayLink for one of my monitors. I can’t remember if that even worked at all.

      If that could finally be fixed, it might push me to Linux.

      Windows 12

      Oh god, have they made another one already?
