    it's a swole doge vs cheems meme

    on swole doge side, there are two popups: kCrash and Ubuntu apport. Both have options to see detailed logs and an optional button to send report to developers, along with options to close the popup.
    accompanied is a text that reads "Here's the information. What do you wish to do?"

    on crying cheems side, there's popup for windows and mac. windows has just a cancel button with report being sent already. mac has ignore and report button. there is no option to see logs without reporting on both. here, accompanied text reads, "let's add this to the personally identifiable information we have on you."

    It was mostly games (mainly Microsoft ones, no surprise there) and the fact that at the time I was going to college for game programming, so needed to use stuff like Unity and Unreal Engine. Which I think I saw with Unreal Engine you can make it work on Linux but you had to like compile it yourself and I didn't want to deal with running into problems with that since I was using it for my classes. Although now that I've graduated I might give it a try, see if anything has changed since I last gave Linux a shot. Just seems like in general a lot of game development stuff is done more on Windows unless you're not using a commercial engine.

    Omg yeah that makes sense. I have the same thing but with excel, one of my classes it's like a must have so I just pop open a VM to get it running bc I don't want to figure out how to wine it. I'm using PopOS rn and it's really easy to use and install drivers, so if you're gonna get back into a Linux distro I'd def recommend that.

    Pop Os was actually what I used before funnily enough and yeah I found it really nice. Probably will try that again when I get the chance.
