Then the last straw was the fact that Microsoft puts out these wildly buggy updates and then restricts if you can download them based on bugs. Switching between open programs didn't fell that smooth. Spreadsheets would lag when the scrolled, if I scrolled to fast the cells wouldn't load right away. The usage of the office 365 apps always felt less that ideal. I would have to for shutdown by holding the power to get it to actually turn on. 70% of the time it would wake up to a white windows log flashing from the bottom to the middle of screen over and over and over. Waking up from sleep/hibernate was a 70/30 success. As time went on I notice a few little glaring issues that started to compound and really bug me. I figured Microsoft hardware would run Microsoft software better. Honestly the design aesthetic of MacOS is nice and flows well across the operating system.Īt the beginning of the year I purchased a surface pro 7 for work. I do miss the aspect of really making the system your own and configuring it. I am sure if I go back in about a year my pc will probably work out of the box. I know many users use it as a daily and have no issues, I could never achieve that level with my hardware. I just don't feel that it is a daily driver system.

While it was fun and I learned a ton about linux and how computers work in general. I went through all the work to game on it and work arounds for this or that. It took a shit ton of work to get it going and wasn't fully usable until 3 months after I purchased it. That was the case for my gaming laptop which is an Asus ROG amd/nvidia hybrid. While I love linux, unless you pick your hardware carefully you will have issues. For the last year I had tried my hardest to really make linux work as my daily driver.
