This is not a standard blog post, but a hidden FAQ which answers the common
|
||||
questions I get about running Linux on my laptop.

## Normal FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why do you use Linux?
|
||||
|
||||
- Package management
|
||||
- Proper tiling window management
|
||||
- Inter-application audio routing via PipeWire or JACK
|
||||
- Supports all of the programs that I care about
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why do you hate Windows?
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows Update
|
||||
- Annoying build toolchains
|
||||
- Lack of inter-application audio routing without specialized tools
|
||||
- Spontaneous combustion
|
||||
|
||||
#### Should I switch to Linux?
|
||||
|
||||
Probably not. Use whatever suits you best.

## Cynical nerd FAQ
|
||||
|
||||
#### Isn’t desktop Linux a mess?
|
||||
|
||||
It isn’t _great_, but it works well enough for me.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Isn’t it tedious to use?
|
||||
|
||||
I find it quite comfortable, personally.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Do you have to spend hours tweaking your system to make it work?
|
||||
|
||||
My “tweaks” congealed over time. If you sit on a chair for a long time, it will
|
||||
mold to the shape of your butt. If you use a computer for a long time, it will
|
||||
fit your preferences eventually.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Don’t you run into all sorts of issues?
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the software that I use seems to run well.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Doesn’t it spontaneously break?
|
||||
|
||||
Linux systems are chock full of footguns. Experienced users can avoid these,
|
||||
but everyone else is walking on a minefield as far as I’m concerned. One dude
|
||||
destroyed his desktop environment by installing Steam.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: Although this was a result of poor quality assurance on the distribution’s
|
||||
package repository, the point is that these mistakes are easy to make.
