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
this is typically how i linux, and i guess i'm just determined to treat windows like a linux by any means necessary
is "forces everything they own to be linux" a personality?
because if it is, i might need to reevaluate some things
(glances at my phone that's half termux scripts at this point) i'm sure this is shocking information
