okay, I installed Mint with root and swap mounted to my SSD and home mounted to my big drive and now I feel incredibly smart ✨:lucario:​✨

it is frighteningly responsive and fast

steam wouldn't start after installing and instead of panicking I ran it from a terminal and notice it couldn't find fonts and apt install'd them myself and now it works and I feel like a fucking god

the terminal is not scary

it is my friend (whom I respect)

update: basically every Windows app I used has a great functional Linux version

not to mention Mint handles my Switch-audio-to-line-in setup SO much more simple and straightforward than Windows did

Also love the built in super-fast region and window capturing, no ShareX needed

hell my Switch audio setup sounds 5x better than it ever did in Windows because I can actually see information in front of me re: line gain instead of 5 ambiguous independent volume bars

it's so fun to learn!! i'm learning!!!

bark!!!! :lucario:
