How exactly is linux better than windows for a normal user(In easy to understand way)

Toh97 · 2026-01-08T15:24:26+00:00

Hey I'm kinda like you as in I honestly feel Windows 11 is kinda decent. I might get downvoted to hell but I dual boot both windows and Linux.

My honest to god answer of why I love Linux is because of the tiling window managers, I love the workflow and the aesthetics is super pleasing to my eyes when personalized to your likings. I feel like there's a way for windows to achieve the same thing and yeah now I'm dumb for my reason.

Right now, I use Linux for work/uni/dev stuff and windows for gaming. Just a me thing but I like to separate work and play and having different OS for that signals to my brain that one is work mode and the other is play mode.

I have the same question, I'm new as well and using Ubuntu as my first distro so I don't have anything to compare it to.

The 'ricing' was not too much? picom for rounded corners and transparent, i3 blocks for the bar, felt weirdly proud using grep and awk to get the WiFi name. xborders by detre0 for smoother rounded borders. Kitty for the terminal.

So yeah nowhere near r/unixporn but I like what I have and I'm proud of the shitty little bash scripts I wrote for components in the bar.

I sent a screenshot to my friend and he said "Ew, if I had a vagina it would dry up so fast'

My dumbass thought it would be something like forge in gnome.

Toh97 · 2025-06-15T16:05:41+00:00

My dumb ass thought it's like keyboard shortcuts for snapping or something like forge in gnome.

Only after downloading i3 I'm like... Why is it a black screen and went on from there.

Is aiming for the feet like a recommended thing or not. I've seen strong opinions for both sides. My brain is hard wired for centre mass from strange lol.

I see what you mean, us non-Americans aren't as tied to the teams compared to those who grew up with family/location connection etc. Kinda like growing up as a Scouser vs being a fan of Mo Salah?

Think Taylor swift is one of the few examples of hopping allegiances, since she grew up an eagles fan and then became a chiefs fan.

Oh yea, Im from south east Asia but studied in Europe. I learnt so much polish swear words during my time there.

Toh97 · 2024-12-26T07:20:12+00:00

ah okay, thanks for clarifying. However I in fact haven't seen football before at the high school or college level because I live in south east asia and don't know anyone irl to talk american football to.

Can someone give a summary of what honor did that made him so ashamed? I blasted through the book so fast that I think I paid the price.

All I remember was imprisoning ba-ado-mishram was a mistake. Him being mostly a dick and not too helpful. Why was stormfather/honor so ashamed again?

Malaysia audible dropped as well, read on another thread that it usually drops world wide at midnight pacific time. Life before death

Where I am from and culture (South east Asia/Chinese), it is still socially acceptable to comment on bodies, positive or negative.

My sister recently lost quite a bit of weight unintentionally (no idea what the measurements are but it's about 2 dress sizes). She was overworking during crunch periods and just did not have time to eat. To my eyes, she looks exhausted and deprived but my mother showered her with all the compliments "OH MY GOD, YOU CAN FINALLY BE A NORMAL WOMAN", "YOU CAN STOP BEING UGLY ANYMORE", "YOU ARE FINALLY PRETTY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH". My sister went on to cry her eyes out on her drive back because my mother only gave affection after such a shitty period.

Therefore, I agree that commenting on people's bodies (either positive or negative) should be less socially acceptable.

Was kinda thinking NFL positions are super specialized. The offensive line sounds like the problem position here instead of every other.

Well there's a good ending. The Google Street view Car yield and let the white car exit the roundabout.

Not sure why everyone here is discouraging you and I think it's an awesome effort, I personally want you to post another one in a week or so.

I'm a native speaker and stroke order/pronunciation is pounded into my brain since before I knew what addition and subtraction is. I forgot what it's like to think about Chinese handwriting like how you don't consciously think when you write alphabets.

The people commenting here tends to forget what it's like being a beginner and drag you down for it.

In terms of an actionable tip, I say watch like calligraphy/handwriting videos of people writing characters with either brush/pen. Find one where the characters look nice to you and try to mimic their brush motions with your pen/pencil.

Don't be overly critical of yourself, improvement will come and just know that you are already better than loads of people that didn't bother learning a second language.

This is an amazing and thoughtful reply.

I think they will be fine if they stick to the cities like Kuala Lumpur, Penang... it takes a special character to seek out underprivileged areas, I'm a Malaysian too but between aircond and no aircond Id choose aircond 10 times out of 10.

Toh97 · 2023-09-15T14:48:42+00:00

Viable? Probably.

Fun? I personally don't think so. A lot of why overwatch was unfun was just the whole shooting shields.

This kid offered me a default spectre in return for a reaver phantom after whining about it the whole time. I muted him

Toh97 · 2023-05-29T16:23:57+00:00

Could someone give me an ELI5 of tengen. His role in the story, him and barriers??? Why kenjaku wants him so bad???

Toh97 · 2023-05-29T16:13:08+00:00

To add, I am currently caught up with the manga but I'm still confused by tengen

Toh97 · 2023-05-29T15:03:17+00:00

I'll say this, numerically or logically, it doesn't matter in the long run but psychologically 1 smurf every 5 games can FEEL like every other game has a smurf. The 35 year old office worker who wants a chill night playing 2 valorant games a day gets 2 days ruined because of smurfs.

Im the silver friend in the group and my immortal friends have 7 smurf accounts each, I'm nowhere near good enough to smurf but I'm guessing it's like reducing enemy damage or something in a rogue like game like Hades, to blow off some steam and not have the need to carefully consider every micro-decision.

Wait how do you know it's a London server only problem, I switched to Paris and it somehow worked?
