    And Daylight Saving Time doesn’t cause it, that would be Standard Time.

    I don’t want to be pedantic but it really irks me that people (not you) don’t know the difference and they keep saying they prefer one of the two but it’s always the opposite of what they’re thinking. With legislation being talked about every switch, it would be helpful for people to know what the hell they’re talking about.

    Personally, I prefer DST living in CA but I do like Arizona’s year-round ST considering how hot it is in the evenings.





  • As for it feeling quicker due to it being a fresh install, don’t really expect it to slow down. Windows always slows down over time because its Registry is clogged, the code gets more bloated over time with updates, and the filesystem is kind of trash.

    Linux generally stays quite nimble and quick in the long-term. It’s why you can take a decade old computer and still accomplish quite a bit on it with Linux.





  • Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.

    You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.

    Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg (especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).

    Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.
