>>107117738>>107117758the average ubuntu "just works" experience kekstop using meme distros
I use windows 7
>>107117896I'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
>>107117824thishalf 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
>>107117738it'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.
>>107118082What event would that be?
>>107117744This, that's the biggest redpill of switching to Linux is "holy shit how the fuck do people voluntarily use windows?"
>>107118991The 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.
>>107118674Not 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.
>>107119006Windows was phoning home and being spyware in the 2000s too, it would be nothing new to them
>>107117824>>107117946the 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.
>>107117758>normies poisoning the well
>>107117758you look handsome in your reflection, I'd like to fuck you
>>107119590he's happily married
>>107117738You get used to the difference over time. I for one am a huge fan of being able to just 'sudo pacman -Syu' and update half of all apps I have installed in one swoop.Heck of a lot easier than going to the website and installing another .exe, and then running it.
>>107119627Based Linux updating all of it's software in one place, it amazes me how after all this time with upgraded technology, Microsoft can't make a liveCD installer like Linux has where you can be browsing the fucking internet while installing it, which blew me away even in the era of Ubuntu 8.10, it's 2025 and Windows still has the Vista style installer like it's the year 2006 or something, but boy can they get the spyware coded perfectly, lots of effort was put in for that, Windows is so goddamn clusterfucked, but people act like it's easy to use or something, probably because they've been doing it their whole life and any other way of doing this is hard.
>>107117738I went from windows 10 to Fedora 43 KDE Plasma this week and so far it's actually been a better user experience for me.
