I gave Linux another try lately and went back to Wondows. I already had Fedora all my secondary laptops, but wanted it to be my primary personal+work system. I purchased a brand new built computer. AMD 9950X AMD Creator B870X with 10Gbe PNY 5080 16GB 128GB DDR5 6400 cls 30 After installing Fedora, almost immediately my wifi wouldn’t work. And both my 1Gbe and 10Gbe would work and randomly disconnect. I was finally able to fix it with drivers that I built and fixes in bootup. I spent a good week working on this including getting used to a alternative Adobe apps and figuring out how to use Bottles for some of my crucial work app. While in the middle of me coding for work, the computer experienced a panic. But not a regular panic. Because no matter what I do, the panic wouldn’t record a log. I went as far as building an app to try and capture the panic. No go. Before you tell me to use Ubuntu or whatever. This problem isn’t a Wayland problem. This happened in Ubuntu as well. The amount of time spent and work lost and client zoom calls that crash makes it impossible to have Fedora/Linux as a work system. I gave up. Went back to Windows. I’m still using WSL. It’s just that Windows is simply more stable at the moment. I did install Winhance which eliminated the over-reaching Microsoft problem.

Microsoft is forced to provide another year of security updates because a series of historic and ongoing colossal fuckups have made it more commercially viable for them to do so than the alternative. There is no “give” here, they are doing it for themselves, that the user potentially benefits is incidental.

Should be enough time for hypervisor cracks to work on Linux, already saw on csrin that they are in test.

Like that is going to bring back those who already switched to Linux… Lol
