Linux continues.
So I've had Linux installed on my "daily driver" PC for almost a month at this point and I'm pretty used to how it works. And no, I wasn't "forced to" like some clickbaity YouTube nonsense would claim. I probably totally could have kept using that Windows install full-time with no real issues aside from I guess Chrome stops working right. Granted, I'm not doing a whole lot past what I was usually doing on Windows 8.1 before, and I've just developed usual program habits over time for things that work on more than just Windows or even came from the whole "open source" side of things to begin with, so it's not like it's a drastic change or anything. Plus I still have the Windows 10 PC for modern Windows stuff, and I can always boot this thing back into 8.1, which I think I'll have to do in order to do stream stuff with the capture device some time next month, since I haven't found a Linux method for the specific one I have as far as I can tell.
Speaking of the Windows 10 PC, turns out for whatever reason the Xbox app on there just randomly decides to download updates for games even though I've gone through and turned all those off multiple times. Sure, I can turn off automatic app updates through that Microsoft Store thing and I messed with enough settings to make it so the system updates aren't always happening at random, but game update downloads with the Xbox app are so inefficient that it usually ends up downloading the whole game again and I'm not sure why that is. And then it can't even be limited so I'll just end up with the PC being unable to download much else at that point when I'm trying to actually use it. I guess I have to screw with even more settings to try to keep that from happening again, but it'll probably either not work or break again later. Just more reminders of why I was getting tired of Windows stuff in general. Guess I should get through whatever Game Pass stuff I've installed on there so it's less games to randomly update.
