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.

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.

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

This is my favourite response to this “your body my choice” thing: https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/113445007601304089

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.

He looks like Jimmy Carr with a bigger jaw.

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.

Did Helmut Marko make this meme?

It’s missing 8008135.

I’ve only been wearing glasses for a few months and only when I’m in front of a pc screen. How on earth does anyone keep them clean?

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.

I use both Reddit and Lemmy now. I used to use RiF on mobile but now Reddit for me is pc only. Liftoff for Lemmy has taken over that spot on my phone now. The main reason I haven’t been able to completely switch is just the lack of some of my favourite sub Reddits switching over to Lemmy. The Lemmy communities exist but they’re lacking numbers.

I have a pixel 3a. I’ve had a few issues with it recently that have been resolved so I’m still managing fine with it. If they get any worse or more frequent then I’ll upgrade to a new phone. I really like my pixel 3a so I’ll probably get whatever the newest model is when it’s time to upgrade whether it’s the 8, 8a or even the 9.

I’m still waiting on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor to go on sale. I refuse to pay full price, months after release, for a game that seemed to have a few performance issues on release, plus it’s an EA game. I also have a bit of a backlog of games I’m still playing, so I’m in no rush to buy a new game at the moment.
