  • yeah, it’s frustrating when they’re smug about it but I’d argue that suggesting an alternative where this issue doesn’t happen is helpful advice even if you don’t agree with it. I do agree that ‘just switch to linux’ is a gross oversimplification as there will be some growing pains and there are a few hurdles that may at present be unsurmountable. I also find it amusing that you present digging up registry hacks and fighting for control over your system for the rest of time to be easier than a modern linux installer that takes about 5 minutes to click through the gui with no command line knowledge needed. I guess the point is that you should use whatever you’re comfortable with, but if you haven’t tried linux in a while you might find it to be less of a fight than windows is becoming.












  • I agree with all but the first point, that is entirely going to depend on your utility. My net meter plan happens to be 1:1 and it’s great because they also have peak/offpeak rates. I generally produce solar during the peak rates and consume most of my energy off peak by changing my habits a bit. My utility’s clean energy goals are counting on about 30% rooftop solar adoption by 2035 and they’re scaling up their storage to account for the growth so it doesn’t look like they’re going to push against it.
