I do now understand the financial problems my family had at the time, but for a child it still was a major bummer. Nevermind me being an only and a Christmas child.
Being poor and lonely made Christmas the worst time of the year: no real celebrations like other kids have and my friends were spending time with their families. It was always the loneliest holiday.
I don't hold any resentment to my parents, they did what they could with what they had and they weren't bad people ultimately.
I still don't like Christmas, but my SO does make it something to look forward to. I like thinking of little gifts to get them and watch their reaction. This year I made several oversized t-shirts for sleeping with vinil prints of our cats. It's cheesy as fuck, but in a good way. I like getting gifts as well tho 😅.
Look, english spelling is already a mess for me to parse (non-native speaker). If y'all start using this other alphabet, I'm just not gonna bother reading.
"Oh no! Anyway" kind of comment, but I must protest somehow.
TL; DRMy experience between Windows and Linux is not much different with how often I have issues. But given the choice I much more prefer my Linux experience.
I hate Windows just as much as the next guy, but this comment section smells a little of confirmation bias.
From my experiece (web dev in a mainly MS branded stack) Windows mostly just works. Yes there are horrendous design, UX choices forced upon me, but I can usually force the OS to do what I need and how I need it.
Now comparing it to my home Pop setup it also mostly just works. There are occasional freezes that require a restart and such, but I wouldn't say it's much more different from Windows.
Now what does differ a lot is that I don't need to fight the OS to do shit. It's way better productivitywise, when I know what I'm doing. Which is deffinetly not the case everytime.
Multi-account containers are already all I need.
