Unfortunately there are a few things that keep me from switching to Linux.

• The drivers for my mouse don’t work properly
• JACK is not a substitute for Voicemeeter
• JACK’s latency makes it less suitable for recording guitar
• I use FL Studio
• I need access to a Windows testing environment
• Having to suddenly troubleshoot in Linux completely breaks my flow

Microsoft is going to stop providing updates, but 0patch is specifically providing security patches after EOS so that people don’t have to upgrade to Windows 11.

This may be a shock, but… Some memes are cringe.

For those who aren’t already aware, you can continue to get Windows 10 security updates after EOS, as well as updates for legacy windows systems, with 0patch. That’s what I plan on doing. https://0patch.com/

WSL is great. I get to do my weird little niche Linux stuff and also have working drivers for my mouse, use decent audio mixing software with a well designed GUI, run FL Studio, and decide based on my needs what the best software for any given task would be. I can also run any game without worrying about whether the score on ProtonDB is actually accurate or not.

If Linux had the same functionality as Windows I’d be all about it, but I have an actual workflow I need to be able to perform and I can’t be bothered troubleshooting random shit at a moment’s notice. Nothing breaks my flow more than realizing that a piece of software I need to operate flawlessly is missing some fundamental functionality. I literally can’t even draw as effectively in Linux because my precision mode doesn’t work properly. And there’s no way in hell I’m going to spend the hours or days or whatever fucking around with JACK to try to get it to do half of what Voicemeeter does.

WSL is awesome because it enables me to do everything I want at the same time from the same operating system. I use Linux for functionality, not to be in a club. High school was a looong time ago. Who has time to center their lives around trying to be cool enough for some internet people?

You’re on a roll this week!

Yaaay! Arm! <3
