You’re being down voted because Lemmy is a Linux fan echo chamber, but my experience with Windows 11 is similar to yours.

I resisted the upgrade for a long time after reading about all the issues it apparently had. My work laptop updated first which made me realise it’s not that bad, a few annoying things but nothing system breaking. I’ve had windows 11 on my personal pc for about 2-3 months and it’s been the same, absolutely fine with a few minor things here and there.

For the average user Windows is absolutely fine. I’d say that anyone using Linux or thinking of switching to Linux isn’t an average user. And that’s fine. Everyone can use whatever OS they want. I’m choosing to stick with Windows.

We’re kind of in-between generations but I think most of us have more in common with millennials than with gen z.

I’m with Zen now and my experience has been mostly great. I haven’t done any of the more technical things you’ve mentioned so I can’t comment on that, but in general they’ve been consistently reliable and fast for me. The only issue I’ve had has been due to a fault with the router a few months ago but the customer support sorted it within a day by walking me through how to factory reset the router.

I know what they are. It was a bit of a deliberate play on words, swapping the American and English definitions of biscuit. A joke that was perhaps a bit too subtle or too British for Americans to comprehend.

What type of biscuit though? Hobnobs? Custard Creams? Honestly I’m struggling to think of a biscuit that would go well with chicken.

Fusilli. The spiral shape allows the right amount of pasta sauce to stick to it so you get a nice pasta-to-sauce ratio.

I think you might be right about that

Is Jerboa official? I used it at the start but it seemed to just stop getting developed. Myself and plenty of others have since moved on to other 3rd party apps. I’m using Voyager now.

Really? From personal experience it’s completely the opposite. Almost everyone I see wearing earbuds are wearing wireless ones and it’s not just Apple users with their air pods, it’s android as well.

Seeing as I live in the north east my options seem to be either north of Aberdeen or south of Birmingham. I’m going to say Bristol. I’ve never visited but it seems to have a nice reputation.

Other places must’ve been hot as hell as in the UK we actually had a slightly cooler June than normal compared to the average. The world climate is well and truly fucked then.

I think I’d be ok with removing my ad blocker if ads were simple and non intrusive and creators actually got a decent chunk of the ad revenue. The reason I use it however is that most websites have proven that if you give them an inch they’ll take a mile. So many websites now have so many ads that the actual content is barely visible through the mid-page ads, auto play videos, popups and banners. And that’s not even mentioning the tracking and cookies they now request/use. The internet has become unusable without an ad blocker. If I want to support someone’s content I’d rather use whatever donation method they have set up.

Not surprising to me given my own personal experience. I only really use my PS5 for exclusives now and there haven’t been many of those being released recently that I’ve been interested in. Plus new playstation games are expensive which has made me a more patient gamer. So if a non-exclusive game interests me it’s probably going to be cheaper on Steam. I used to be more of a console gamer but these days if you have a decent pc there isn’t much that a console can offer over a pc.

Bit of a mixed bag. Arctic monkeys and fall out boy makes sense as top 2. I think my music taste varies wildly enough that Katy Perry and P!nk must have just sneaked in there over other artists.

A big catalogue of everything I've scanned. We're part of constellation and we go around scanning everything so it makes sense that we'd build up a catalogue of systems, planets, moons, and everything on them.

I'd like a kind of draft mode or 'save as draft' option when building a ship. Sometimes Im not quite happy with a design and I want to come back to it later. But currently the only options seem to be cancel the whole design or make it pass the flight checks.
