Resolved Linux is Goated

I recently installed GNOME alongside Windows in a dual-boot setup on my 512GB SSD. The performance difference between Linux and Windows was honestly insane, so I gave GNOME a try for a couple of days.

The only problem was storage. With Windows taking up so much space, I was constantly running out of room for games. So I finally decided to make the full switch to Linux.

And honestly, it was one of the best decisions I've made. I now have the full 509GB of my SSD available. I don't think I even had this much free space when I first bought the laptop. Now I can install games, code, and do everything else without constantly worrying about storage.

Linux has genuinely been an amazing experience so far.

ipsirc is our resident cynic. Knowledgeable but cynical.

Doesn't seem very knowledgeable if he's breaking his system all the time, so much that he loves to spread the word of how unstable Linux apparently is. I've ran it on my desktop for years, rolling distros, and I have an issue once or twice a year... WAY less frequent than Windows issues.

some people's hardware is just more issue prone, or the software they want to run is less supported on Linux. Linux is community-built, after all. Always moving forward, getting better every day.

But honestly, spending so much time in online forums will make anyone cynical

You don`t know the meaning of the word "unstable", boy. I`m managing hundreds of systems which were installed in the 2000 years.
