See AllThese 4 Linux myths kept me from trying it for years
The biggest trick to gaming on Linux is to stop focusing on making Windows games work and run Linux native games (Or Linux steam games). You do not need Wine, Proton, or any nasty work around, if you are running MADE for the environment! The same with other applications: Linux has the entire FOSS library of applications! Restricting yourself to software that was designed NOT to run there seems just ignorant!
I can't believe how much fun I'm having with this Android shopping app
Many of these stores I shop in do not have complimentary Wi-Fi, or like Walmart, they only have complimentary Wi-Fi if you agree to allow them to track you and everything you buy and everything you do and decide their advertising and marketing to you based on that information. (and God only knows who they share that information with.) that means I need a shopping app that does not require you logging in over the internet. because I may not have internet where I shop. This particular tool does not satisfy that requirement. If you need to know what I use instead, just ask and I will provide that information, but I cannot claim that it is the best app for the purpose for anyone other than me.
Finally, a feature that makes my Windows 11 Pro license worth it
DinoSaurus you make a point. I am a Linux user, and I don't often comment on Windows articles unless they're kind of off the rails. I was in Enterprise IT for a long time, and in Windows environments, I used Hyper-V for virtualizing Windows servers. It rather kind of sucked at virtualizing anything else. It has gotten a bit better, but Microsoft is going the same direction as that little fruit company with ads in everything. Also intrusive interference, even at enterprise. The Linux user that commented above is also not wrong. But MUO invites comment on all articles from all users, regardless of whether they're Windows users or not. In fact, if you subscribe to their distribution, there's no way to limit it to only Windows or only Linux articles. But most of the articles are opinion pieces by the writers and certainly do not express the opinions or experience of long-time users or IT professionals. So there's generally a lot to criticize. I truly believe that's what they want. And if that's what they are going to encourage, I see no point in complaining about it.
I deleted all my Linux folders and found files faster without them
I remember when "find" was the only option for file searching. And I recall when I discovered that someone had written "locate" and made my life SO much easier! We have additional options now, but something like plocate is all I need for finding. I keep the structure, because it properly groups things for management, but the search tools are indispensable. (And sometimes install scripts put things in the ODDEST places!)
GNOME OS revealed what Linux is actually becoming
Gnome has a vision, but is it OUR vision? Making my workstation EXACTLY what I want it to be is part of why I run Linux instead of any of those other operating systems that make your choices for you. My machine run MY way, and Gnome used to fit with that. This does not. This is the concept of Windows layed onto a Linux kernel, and I would really rather not.
I switched from sudo to doas and now my permission rules actually make sense
SUDO came first, but I would neither call it old (it is in current development and changes arrive regularly) and it is certainly more powerful. IT is not always the right tool for the job. DOAS is great for a single user system, or multi-user with a small trusted number of users. It does not provide the granular control that SUDO provides. SUDO is the better solution for the complex enterprise scale environment. Sudo-rs has not proven more useful or trustworthy in my environment. The rule is, as it has always been, "stop worrying about what is 'best' and use the tool that is best for this job".
