    A Response to DT's Recent Video

    https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=1EIpek60rs0 While I'm nowhere near as experienced in Linux as he is, he does make some points I found interesting, such as a lack of customization (something I've experienced in Mint XFCE).

    Linux effecting hardware/Windows when installed on separate SSD's?

    I installed Windows 10 on one SSD first because it's a giant pain in the ass to configure to your liking then installed Solus on my other SSD with seemingly no problem. Grub doesn't seem to recognize the W10 drive but that's just an irritant since Solus is the daily driver. I've done this a few...

    Is there a bulletproof way of running Windows apps on Linux?

    For me, one of the biggest problems with Linux was software compatibility. Yes, there are many open-source Linux-compatible alternatives to most apps out there, but re-learning tools is probably the last thing I want to deal with in my workflow. From my research wine seems to be far from perfect...
