  • You can always try Linux risk free in a virtual machine like VirtualBox.

    If you like what you see, and you have any valuable data backed-up, you can try dual booting. That way you get to use Linux as your primary operating system, but can switch back and forth as much as needed.

    I found I was dual booting Windows and Linux for over 3 years before I was comfortable enough to stop using Windows entirely. Switching to Linux doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing approach. You can take it as slow as you want.





  • Windows kept doing things I didn’t want it to.

    The last straw was when I had a 24 hours render running, and Windows decided to update and reboot 1 hour before it was done. I was using the computer at the time, RAM, CPU, and GPU were all at max, the mouse was being moved, I clicked “later” every time the update pop-up appeared, and it still rebooted.

    Linux does what I tell it to, and doesn’t do what I tell it not to do. I didn’t think that was a big ask until Windows.

    You might be right on this one. I’m not able to find a source to dispute that.

    In other news, some Chinese car manufacturers are releasing cars with sodium ion batteries late this year / early next year. Lithium might not be a bottleneck for EV production.

    I still agree with your initial point. More public transport is needed.

    Not true. There is more than enough lithium in the world for every person to have an EV. This is not even accounting for new battery chemistries like sodium ion that don’t use lithium.

    I still want more public transport though. Trains are remarkably easy to electrify and don’t need batteries.
