I tried to leave Windows 11 for Linux - it just didn't work for me. I installed EndeavourOS onto my main gaming desktop. It worked great for a while and ran all the games I played with my friends. However, one night when I went on to play a game I ran a system update and it seemed to completely break my nvidea drivers - I tried reinstalling them and also using the open source driver. This meant I just couldn't play any games that night and was simply diagnosing linux issues.

I probably chose the wrong distro for this but I really just want the PC to work for playing games without any issues. I don't use it for anything other than playing games so for my time I just went back to Windows 10 and will use that until apps stop working.

It wasn’t so bad when it was still control centre - I had used it for at least 15 years and knew the placement of everything. Ever since it became system settings I get lost every time I open the app.

I'm going to start purging anything I store on the cloud. I'm not doing anything illegal, but why does the government want to treat me like I am.

They really missed the opportunity to show a gorilla or something when you flip the camera.
