i miss the ease of buying new hardware. everything is optimized for windows and linux works on it too, but it's not optimized and something about getting less performance than paid for irks me (especially w battery life). so every time i need to buy new hardware, i have to either spend weeks investigating potential purchases or i have to spend A LOT more money to buy from system76, tuxedo, etc. i didn't do that this time around to learn what it's like to put linux on a windows laptop like i used to do back in the early 2000's and linux (of course) works, but its battery life is terrible compared to windows on the same laptop and my work macbook. next time i'll buy from tuxedo.
