Far far away years. 3 years BBY passed between marriage and death. In earth years, due to George Lucas’s extremely powerful mind and ability for endless creativity it was… Also 3 years.

Less than a year? I think it was like 3 years later.

Man, sounds like it would work great to power the teleporter I invented.

Right. The increase is from ~$69, so it’s +~45% more expensive. If it was a decrease from the $101 it would be ~31% cheaper.

Yeah I was curious where the 30% was originating when it looks like 45%

No, not at all! Just wanted to clarify if I was misunderstanding.

It would matter more for your ability to fall asleep at night if your bedroom faces West. Do you mean it affects your ability to sleep in late?

If they were for any price, this is still true.

Ah gotcha I thought you were going off the original post. Thanks!

Hm I may be getting wooshed, but this is still binary? 4 in ternary would be 11.

For sure, there are lots of options for controllers for PC!

That is true.

I mean Nintendo isn’t really pro-consumer either. I’m not sure if they donate or support genocide, but they are pretty capitalistic to a fault.

Again, agreed. The original poster said “use Linux, that will remove everything Microsoft”. That is disingenuous, because you can use Linux and still purchase Microsoft products compatible with Linux. So my point was not to toss your existing items. However, you cannot replace your existing physical Microsoft products, purchase new digital content, or support any of Microsoft software in addition to switching from Windows. I didn’t imply anything about what you may already own.

I agree with all of this, my point is your Xbox controller is a Microsoft product? And if you purchase or play any games owned by Microsoft, they are also Microsoft products? So you would need to boycott all of that as well. That is just a much larger net cast than just not using Windows.

Well except for any Xbox peripherals such as controllers, or games published or made by studios owned by Microsoft. It’s not just Windows OS.

Windows 10 was actually fine for me, it was the jump to 11 that broke it. Audio jack headphones, then Bluetooth, and still nothing.

What is that?

Yeah when it updated to Windows 11 I also started noticing the news/ads on boot and in the start menu which were obnoxious. Another benefit to switch I suppose. And thank you! If I run into issues I’m sure I’ll be taking you up on that offer.

I built my desktop specifically to be pretty robust and future proof it for a few years: RYZEN 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070TI super, B650 Gaming Motherboard, and 64GB DDR5 RAM. It wasn’t having any issues playing games on windows until windows just started messing with the system unfortunately.
