The only thing Windows has ever done with my HDR is decide for no reason to put insane contrast and color temps on my displays. Then I have to flick it on and off repeatedly until it looks a bit less terrible

It doesn’t look like you can draw in your notes, but this looks good! I think I might give it a try.

I really want a FOSS solution for my notetaking, but I feel like I want too much. I love how well OneNote works with my Surface in terms of drawing notes, but I also love writing notes in Markdown and graph structure. I’ve at least been trying out Dendron for the latter, and it’s been alright.

It was definitely Unity on Ubuntu plus Cairo dock that pulled me out of the Mac life way back in the early 10s, so I’m still sad Unity is gone and Lumiri is basically abandoned from the start. But these days I really like Plasma, as someone who considers the Windows 11 UI to look rather clean (gasp!)

I dunno, maybe it depends on the age. I grew up with a G3 PowerPC and system 9, and I did spend a little time with early OSX (panther). My schools had these terrible Athlon boxes that could barely run XP without blowing up, and as I was leaving high school they were trying to get them to run Vista. That gave me the early impression that Macs were just better, until I went to a vocational school with Ivy Bridge Dell laptops running Windows 7. A friend of mine convinced me to try Linux, and I was impressed with how much easier it was to set up for development, but I ultimately stuck with Windows hosts for gaming, and Linux VMs, then Docker, then WSL for development. I’m still trying to put in the work now for moving away from Windows entirely now that AI is here and gaming on Linux is better. I think maybe it might just come down to having the resources, because if I got to try all three with at least decent hardware, I would have made that journey a lot faster.
