I have this windows installation on my pc, and yet I spend like 30 minutes playing games every day, at best, and this is the only thing I do with it.
Thanks to their presumptuous and aggressive policies, however, I think I can say I spend more than twice that amount of time, on top, on most days, working around the bullcrap that they impose on my hardware.
My bluetooth devices, thank you sony, don't like to bind to my linux system and windows at the same time. They preemptively, and nonconfigurably attempt to bind to my device not only by its MAC address, but also by the OS, so every time, I literally have to unpair, and repair it for each time I want to go play 30 minutes of tomb raider.
The contortions of the filesystem are another time sink as well.
I am starting to realise it's not worth the effort anymore, since I only seem to want to play a bunch of games that I can run just fine on Linux anyway. I just got a little tired of the constant procession of hardware support problems, so I just put my games installation on windows.
But Shuttleworth, and Torvalds, with their respective projects, don't make life easier either. Constantly Ubuntu is updating kernels, breaking my system's support of the video and/or power subsystems. One only turns around for 12 months and blink, oh, new, same old problem again.
I'm of the opinion, and probably have always been of this opinion, that this is deliberate disruption to slow down the development of competitors for the establishment picks for who gets the cheap money first to build this stuff.
It has nothing to do with merit or virtue. It's actually the opposite. Apple and Microsoft stuff is the most retrogressive, slow to advance, and least accessible to new developers.
Even as I am writing this, it is obvious what a waste of time it all is.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Technology is the enemy of power.
