me: restarting for updates is such a hassle, i wish windows could just apply them without that
them: restarting isn't so bad
me (with 6 desktops, each with entire running environments, vms, separate creative tools in the middle of projects which take minutes to even start up, and a mountain of carefully curated and placed browser/file manager/terminal windows set up to research and work on something in specific): i guess
details (long)
oh! if you thought this was an exaggeration, i also have 3 monitors, so the problem is actually worse than you might think!
my current desktops are:
1: lisp things! currently with fennel and scheme shenanigans, possibly seeing how to interop fennel with ruby, and seeing what problems would arise if i removed the global namespace mangler in fennel
2: researching/maybe eventually fixing kiwix-android, the thing that lets you download wikipedia, since it can't open its packaged local files. also kotlin
3: japanese practice, and rom digging
4: my work-work
5: my vm that i host docker things from and test linux contributions. also long-running tunnels and monitors
6: plan 9 research and attempting to figure out how to get various things working on my dedicated plan 9 pi and researching kernel things (kinda empty rn though)
i'm ignoring a lot of other things i have on each desktop, and the meaning of these desktop changes as i start drawing or composing music, or doing more messing around with various projects that interest me
there is also a WSL component underneath all of this that isn't immediately apparent
(glances at my phone that's half termux scripts at this point) i'm sure this is shocking information
is "forces everything they own to be linux" a personality?
because if it is, i might need to reevaluate some things
this is typically how i linux, and i guess i'm just determined to treat windows like a linux by any means necessary
