the average ubuntu "just works" experience kek
stop using meme distros

I use windows 7

>>107117896
I'm upgrading to 10 soon.

Wish it had every game and piece of software on it like Windows

i went back to windows like 7 weeks ago

I'm using an old laptop from like 2016 with an old spinning HDD and Mint with XFCE works way better than windows 10 did. No slowdowns whatsoever while Windows 10 took like 60 seconds to open a basic file browser window.
Everything just werked out of the box including bluetooth but speakers audio doesn't seem to work. I'm sure I could get it working by fiddling but I'm using bluetooth headphones anyways.
The only thing that required fiddling that was non-negotiable was a flux alternative and Redshift requires you to manually create a config file.
Overall I don't miss windows on this particular laptop at least, linux works way better than windows

this
half the retard win refugees at /fglt/ are using these meme distros because marketing and muh gaming performance instead of using distros that have been rock solid for the past 15-20 years and they have the most retarded problems like that

it's by design. they make it horrendous for people that are knowledgable as they don't want them teaching the next lot about what computing was like before the major event. they want to keep them as uninformed and ill-informed as possible so they are easier to deal with.

What event would that be?

This, that's the biggest redpill of switching to Linux is "holy shit how the fuck do people voluntarily use windows?"

The only advantage Windows has is gaming, at this point. If Valve can keep pushing Proton's development forward, there will be very little reason for anybody to want to still use Windows.

Not sure but now that Windows users are typically retarded, they can do massive dystopian shit with minimal pushback, like if you showed Windows as it's been since 10 to a computer user in the 2000s, they would be like "holy shit, that operating system is phoning home and is the definition of spyware and adware" but people are so smooth brained on the windows side these days, that they just put up with it now because power users have fucked off to Linux or Mac, it's almost an amazing filter MS has created to get the customers they want.

Windows was phoning home and being spyware in the 2000s too, it would be nothing new to them

the retard is you lot not giving a proper answer as to what's the best just a "it depends" answer thus majority normalfags are going to be like hmm the ad says its this the AI search results says that reddit says that and they go for it. Your fault for not at least providing a cohesive 5 option list the very least to combat faulty advertisement info for linuxnewfags.
