Xoa Gray

I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 for $600 US and use it with Garuda Linux. Everything works as expected and the onboard GTX1650 MaxQ handles gaming just fine. The hybrid graphics even work just fine with no fiddling around at all.

When I wear a beard it’s gotten pretty salt and pepper. My hair is also beginning to turn gray in a similar fashion but isn’t as far along yet, it’s still mostly darker. I’m heading on 50 though, so I guess it’s about time.

I see it, so I’m guessing it worked.

That’s really cool! :)

My only real complaint is that some of the groups I was in on reddit either aren’t here, or are super small here. As far as the people go, maybe I’ve just been lucky but most folks have been pretty nice, and thus far I haven’t really run into the extremist stuff some folks ahve mentioned.

The thing that really rubs me the wrong way about all this is we pay for Windows, I have 3 licenses for Windows 11 and it’s gotten so annoying that I don’t even use them anymore. I’ve been a Linux user for quite a while already and between Microsoft’s doing more and more data collection, and more ads, I just walked away from it a couple years ago. Fortunately, I was in a position where I could do so. I feel bad for folks that must use Windows for this or that and can’t escape it.

Idiocracy is slowly becoming a documentary, and I hate it.

Garuda is the OS I’ve been using as my main since 2021 when I switched from Ubuntu. While I love it, and Garuda is aimed at making Arch easier to use, it is still Arch. I would say if this is your first time installing Linux, Garuda probably isn’t the best choice, rather it’s something to move up to when you’re more familiar with the OS. For a first time user I’d suggest Ubuntu, It’s not the flashiest, and some people will doubtless deride it for this or that, but when it comes to being user friendly it’s pretty hard to beat. Then once you feel confident with that, aim for something more advanced like Garuda if you still want to do so. Good luck in moving over to Linux!

In passing. I liked the comic but there aren’t a lot of comics that i’ve read end to end. It’s something I find myself getting more into as I get older ironically.
