You can install gentoo in one afternoon if you can read, you'll learn to use all you need if you can read, pick any of the big ones.
Only fucky things are windows' anemic EFI partition if you want to dualboot on a single disk and remembering that you cannot use an NTFS partition to install things into if you're using Proton.

>Should I change to Linux?
It depends. If you're a lifelong Windows user, it's going to take some getting used to, and you're going to notice the difference. Not every program is going to just run after clicking on the .exe like it does on windows. If you use specific professional software like Photoshop or AutoCAD or FL studio, be aware that these don't run natively on linux and it takes some tinkering and workarounds to get them to work. It's not impossible to run these, but it's one a one click install sort of thing either.
If you don't use those specific programs, Linux is basically just as easy if not easier than Windows by this point. Gaming is just a matter of installing Steam and launching your games through the Proton launcher.
>>
>>107658343
Start with the mainstream ones like Ubuntu or Fedora. Use Ubuntu for the widest range of support or Fedora for the most updates. Use the KDE desktop environment if you want something that's like Windows 7 or the Xfce desktop environment if you want something like Windows XP. Once you know what you like or dislike about Ubuntu or Fedora you can then search for more specialized distros that fix the stuff you dislike. Also explore customization options and once you get really comfortable with Linux you can try Arch if that's your thing.
>>
>>107658343
For me personally, Linux has got to the point now where it's easier to use, more reliable, less janky than Windows. For me this applies to both work (programming) and personal (Steam gaming) use cases. But it might not be true for everyone or on all hardware. I think it's worth a try.
>Can i set the system in a one night?
Probably, depends on your general level of tech knowledge. If you would be able to reinstall Windows in one night and are comfortable with the steps involved (backing up your data, preparing a USB stick) then I'd say you should be able to get Linux running in one night.
>which distrubution should i take
I like Fedora KDE and I recommend it.
Other good options are Ubuntu and Mint. Bazzite is also popular with gamers, but you can game on other distros too.
Just avoid obscure and highly technical distros like Arch. Anything big, popular, and mainstream should be fine.

i changed my username recently and now i don't have sudo permissions even though i'm still in the wheel group. apparently archinstall sets up sudoers per user and does not apply it to the wheel as a whole. why is that? are archinstall mantainers retarded or is there a reason to do this i don't know about?

>Nvidia plans to start its cuts by targeting its RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and RTX 5070 Ti. Targeting the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB makes sense, as this GPU has the same amount of memory as an RTX 5080, a much more expensive GPU. The same is true for the RTX 5070 Ti. It’s memory could also be used for more profitable RTX 5080 GPUs.

Hello everyone, I have an old desktop PC sitting right there doing nothing. I'm trying to give it a reason to exist and evaluating the idea to install Windows 7 on it.
So, can you use Windows 7 in these days? How much do you have to debloat it and uninstall things? And, more important, there's a way to not have it becoming a SECURITY NIGHTMARE?
101 replies and 14 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107658691
I don't buy into this idea of Windows 7 users getting pwned, mainly because there's so few people using it, but I think it's just a retarded thing to do because it's so old and unspported, that while you're computer will still be able to do stuff it currently does, it can't do anything more in the future, and like I said before Windows 7 users are kinda stuck with as new of a computer they can get drivers for... Meanwhile, you can call Linux users trannies, whatever, but this is a non issue, they can get a new computer, they don't worry about their fork of a browser being "mostly up to date", it's fully up to date, Linux has a future, that is pretty good, Windows 7 has no future, and I liked 7 when I could web browse on it supported but it is what it is, Windows is kill unless you're gonna use 11.

They're getting pwned in the sense that get left behind more than anything.

For me it's dumb scripts - autohotkey scripts, browser userscripts, random python things

It's great for one off scripts. I also like to mock out classes for my code and make function stubs and have LLMs fill them out. I am able to accelerate projects quickly that way. That level of constraint also stops the LLMs for making up retarded architectural decisions too.

Been trying Claude for larger codebases and once you give it too much flexibility it starts becoming retarded.
