Really love being free of Windows and this bullshit.
My system76 laptop is in the mail and I'm excited.
Yup, the only Microsoft product I use at home is GitHub, my home computer is Linux, and my work computer is macOS, so I just don't see this BS.
Gitlab is pretty great!
Yeah it is, and that's where I put my personal projects. But I like contributing to other FOSS projects, and most of those are in GitHub.
Codeberg too. Though I'm still using VSCode because for some reason no one in MS management has remembered that they need to make it awful yet.
@InternetUser2012 @const_void Haven't had Windows installed since like 2005. Did I miss something?
Yeah, it’s been a breeze since I moved into Apple ecosystem. Nothing really being shoved down your throat feels nice.
So you change from the payed system that advertises but at least still have the option to use other things to the free os/over priced device that doesn't need to advertise since the only option is to use their shit? Really an improvement...
