For work I’ve found that Microsoft Teams no longer works on Debian + Firefox. My workaround is a dedicated VM running debian with Chrome installed (and nothing else). We’ll see how long that works.

for me that’s enough of an inconvenience to wash my hands of the whole dual-booting scenario.

Damn you! Angry upvote.

Started with Ubuntu (but this was about 10 years ago). Tried out a few different distros - Mint, mostly. I’ve eventually settled on Debian. I don’t got time for shit to randomly break with high frequency (/s). I don’t really have a good reason for why I picked Debian. The best I can think of is that I considered that since so many other distros are derived from Debian, I may as well got to the source.

With my laptop, the biggest issue I have is it doesn’t come back from suspend reliably. Other than that it’s fully functional. I don’t even think I’ve had an update break anything. The only reason I’ve reinstalled is because I broke it myself (like a few months ago when i was trying to install a C++ depencency so I could play dwarf fortress).

Wine and Proton are covering my gaming and Windows application needs. KVM with a (legit) Windows VM is also there to cover the increasingly rare circumstances where I need a proper Windows OS.

No brainer. Restart at 6 years old. Time is priceless.

Angry upvote. I’ve been holding onto the interpretation that Santa was an asshole for knowing nasty shit was going down under his nose, but not doing anything about it until there was something in it for him.

So I’d like to add to the chorus of those who appreciate this wholesome take.

(Santa’s still a cunt though 😜 )
