And if you ran it at 200%, everything was a little big. And I was like, that's not quite right either. Yeah. And I just went through all of these steps of finding, oh, I like something about Linux. Oh, I don't like that thing about Linux. And I spent maybe five weeks just going like, all right, you know what? I'm going to learn this. I'm going to figure it out. I'm going to get a desktop.

I'm going to get a framework. I'm going to set it all up. And I spent like two of those weeks battling with NVIDIA drivers, trying to get them to work with my Apple 6K XDR display, which, by the way, spoiler alert, it never will. It won't. I went through... About 400 layers and wild goose chases trying to decompile things and kernel flags and whatever. Don't do that.

Don't put yourself through that. Just buy an AMD graphics card. If you're not doing literally top tier gaming that requires a 490, then the AMD stuff is awesome. It works out of the box with a 6K XDR display. I could have saved myself two weeks. But I still like the journey. And I like the journey because Linux was a challenge. And I think Linux still is a bit of a challenge. I mean, it's funny.

I just posted something yesterday about this where I said, like, hey, do you know what? I think more developers should run Linux because it's a challenge.

Because it's not as straightforward and paved as Windows is or Mac OS is. And then I get the normal stance Linux turns. What are you talking about? Ubuntu is just as easy as Mac OS. Yeah. I mean, come on. Let's get real.

It just isn't. It just isn't. I'm glad you got your grandma set up with Ubuntu and she's running Firefox and she doesn't need anything else. That is awesome and I'm not disputing that. But for a lot of normal software – like if I was going to convince my wife to run Linux, yeah, I was not going to do that. She just uses too many apps and they're too specific and I'm like –

I'm not like, hey, babe, do you want an adventure in setting up like your webcam? She'd be like, no, I don't want that adventure. What are you talking about? Versus if you are a developer, I think there are actually legitimate benefits. And maybe some of it is just you kind of just acclimate to your environment.

But I thought in just those six months that I've been using Linux full time, I've gotten far more comfortable with Linux in ways that are pushing me on like, what are we doing on the server? And this is what I see as one of those main benefits. Anyone who works in web development today, they may work on a Mac, but they deploy on Linux. No one is fucking deploying on a Mac box.

They're not deploying on a Windows box either. I know there are some people actually literally doing that, but like 95% of the internet runs on Linux. And if you are a developer working with the web, I think you owe it to yourself to understand what's going on. And I don't think that the cloud is able to pave over that experience to a degree that is, helpful for you.

And I also think it locks you into a bunch of overpriced premium AWS wrapper services that you'd be better off without. That's a mission I'm pursuing. But regardless, Linux is a little bit more of an adventure, but holy shit, what an awesome adventure it is. And what an incredible oasis you're able to arrive at. That was what actually blew my mind.
