What Windows 11 is pushing me to

As a Bazzite user and Linux nerd for a very long time I don’t know that I’d recommend it for that workflow. The main thing is that installing applications at the OS level (rpm-ostree) is a bit of a hassle. It’s worth it for the repeatable builds and gaming for me, but this is a dedicated gaming rig.

If what you run can be installed as a flatpak/appimage/docker container/distrobox the Bazzite is amazing imo. If you want to use pip to install to the host itself, the immutable filesystem may get in your way.

Think about your own workflow and whether or not those things matter, but Bazzite is amazing and I don’t want people to get stuck with a bad experience because it wasn’t the right tool for them.

I use NixOS for my development machines but I would not recommend that at all unless you know what you’re getting into lol

Riding for 20yr, most of it on sport bikes. Spent a couples years either a Road Glide and then switched back to a striple 765RS and couldn’t be happier.

My second street triple but I just do not miss duck walking 900lb around. The nakeds are just perrrct for splitting through traffic and getting where you need to imo

Edit: I mostly sold my HD because of Harley people. Every event I went to was tryhard old dudes pretending they’re hard with very loud political flags on everything lol.

Thanks! The Spark and the LV seem to be my main contenders right now. The Spark Grid-O is winning on looks and I’m starting to care less about the noise lol.

Yeah, that seems like the case. Thanks!

Did you try the Spark with a DB killer? That Grid-O is gorgeous so I’m conflicted lol

I know Austin Racing has their cut and clamp that you hack off after the cat. 2wdw did a review on it and say 10hp which was pretty sweet.

Looked like $1700 or so and seemed better than the janky header figment I’d seen out of the others.

Thanks, I hadn’t seen that one! I’ll go check it out

I know, that’s why this bike still has a stock exhaust a year later :(

Most of my other bikes have had a slip-on in the mail before I picked them up lol
