I just switched for the first time in my life to Ubuntu from Windows 11And I tell ya it's comfy as heck, why dont more people use linux like a normal person?
Linux doesn't have the pro software I need.
>>109557337the battery drained out on my lg gram running mint, and now it takes a solid 2 minutes for the desktop to load after login
>>109557349if you weren't poor you could run a windows vm
>>109557337yes canonical is one of the best i do not know much but south africa is in africa yes
Idk how GNOME is comfy to you but good that you are at least running gnuh slash linucks.
>>109557375it's like an official linux distro
>>109557356>"It's time to ditch Windows so you can..." *checks notes* "...run Windows."
>>109557337there's significantly more running linux now than five years ago, and it's been exponential growth the past couple of yearsin some areas it now has a market share of 10 percent, which was unthinkable five years agoprobably helped a lot by windows friendly distros like linux mint, but also because of people not wanting to switch from windows 10 to 11, either because their hardware isn't supported or to old to run windows 11, or because of AI integration and bloat in windows 11people are also more used to other OS than windows now since they've used android for years I guessmicrosoft is trying to fight this to get people to choose windows 10 iot ltsc instead of linux, which has support until 2032, but they haven't been particularly successfull
>>109557452>you can get this brand new linux distro>or you can use some fucking outdated windows 10people simply want the newest latest stuff
>>109557400is there another way to run photoshop or autocad?
>>109557549
>>109557400>"*checks notes*"Twitterfag detected
>>109557579oh i was replying to a massive homo. nm
>>109557549wine can run older versions of these programs or if you have patience you can try the FOSS versions of them like Gimp
>>109557337
>>109559166i acknowledge mac paypigs as fag safe spaces and for the electronically inept
>>109557466>people simply want the newest latest stuffit just works, and the windows 10 iot ltsc has security updates until 2032I'm not particularly fond of avantgarge stuff that breaks every month. like windows 10 was when it was new
>>109557549autocad works fine in a vm i used qemu xp with 2012 o algo
>>109557337puppy linux is bettermuch better
>>109559507how is macOS for the electronically inept? bro its unix, its leagues better than windows just due to that
>>109557337based. i don't know why people have strayed away from ubuntu, this shit is super reliable and just werks.
As much as I want to. Linux still doesn't have a video editing software that's as easy and braindead to use as Vegas.
>>109557337I work with c#
>>109557337Welcome home, white man.
>>109561396>i don't know why people have strayed away from ubuntu, this shit is super reliable and just werks.I don't like the UI and I don't want to use Snaps. So I just use Debian.
>>109557549>>109557579:^)
>>109557377>GNOMENTA but I've been running Ubuntu with i3 since 2018It's just Debian with sensible defaults.
>>109557337Go back to windows and reddit.
I went for Debian testing because I didn't went to 'apt upgrade' as well as 'snap refresh'thinking about switching over to Solus since AUR has become a shitshow instead of going Arch ever again
>>109561504Dotnet is cross platform.
>>109562445If you're a straight white man you should be using void
>>109557337Ubuntu was fine like, 8 years ago. there's significantly better windows friendly options, fedora is lightyears ahead now
Ubuntu is the trans-friendly corporate distro, always has been.
>>109561522I chose a flavor with a personally more tolerable desktop environment and installed a tiling window manager. I also don't use snaps, and instead use apt/synaptic as a package manager
>>109557337Ubuntu doesn't come with the latest (610) Nvidia drivers which is shit if you play anything recently released because so many games rely on driver fixes
>>109562727>fedora is lightyears ahead nowIn what way?
>>109563516every single dev is on HRT
>>109557466>>or you can use some fucking outdated windows 10Lol, lmao. Wrote like a massive apple fag
>>109561510
>>109557349Yeah, it does.
>>109561423Davinci resolve literally has a native version, literally.
>>109562460well, the program I had concerns about due to previous systemd depedency is now in the official repo. I guess I better fire up a VM. thanks for the encouragement, anon!

>>109564156this is horse shit, if you have use case for any microslop winblows applications you can spin up a VM, do your dirty business there like the dirty toilet that it is, then pause/suspend it and continue using Linux without being bombarded by ads and your privacy breacheddo people really have this low IQ, I am surprised, maybe go back to /b/
>>109557337Ubuntu is a lot better than the usual noob rec which is mint, which kills itself on major updates.Still, I miss old ubuntu with gnome2.
>>109563900Lol. Have you actually used it? It's hell.
King Terry The Terrible once said that he uses Linux like it is Internet Explorer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXhmu1aQSOY
>>109565068Preach brother
>>109565110Yeah, it's pretty good coming from adobe premiere. Maybe you're just too used to Vegas at this point.

>>109565871Yeah, it actually 'just works' and I don't need to fuck around with wine prefixes to get shit like EAC or an old VN running. It might be shit, but it doesn't get in my way like Linux.
>>109565068>appeal to vm:laughingcryingemoji: so why would any normal person care to have troonix as their base system? If he's a producer or uses some proprietary company software what does he gain by wasting time setting up your troonslop just to spend 95% of the time on windows all over again?

>>109565916>Windows>it actually 'just works'lollmao even
OP here, after 2 days I’m going back to windows.. but fuck 11 I’m going back to 10
>>109570032At least you tried it. That's the usual path though... hit some annoyances that aren't worth it. At least install W10 IoT LTSC it's a much better experience.
>>109570147>hit some annoyances that aren't worth itwindows is a massive annoyance not worth it
>>109570573Yes, but it's predictable, and you're not going to run in to a dead end trying to get a program you need to work or an old VN or something. I'm not for a second saying Windows is good, and if you don't have specific programs that don't work there's little reason to use it.
>>109557337>why dont more people use linuxI'm a Linux user, but as an exercise in empathy, I could come up with several reasons why.First of all, if you've been using Windows your whole life, then there's a bit of a learning curve when switching Linux. Particularly when it comes to installing software and navigating the system. The fact that it's different creates a barrier to entry. I'm a lazy fuck, so if I wasn't forced to learn about Linux in the context of server administration in uni, I probably wouldn't have made the switch myself just for that one reason.Another reason is that there's a bunch of proprietary software that people want to/have to use that's not available on Linux. For example, several Adobe and Microsoft Office products. I myself really like Visual Studio for programming using languages that require manual memory management, and that IDE is not available on Linux.The third reason is the option paralysis when it comes to choosing a distro. There's a shit ton of them and it seems like every couple of years some new project pops up that everyone says is the best for your particular use case. It can be intimidating to commit to something.The fourth reason is gaming. While gaming on Linux has come a long way, it's still possible to run into problems that you wouldn't encounter on Windows. Also, many competitive multiplayer games use kernel-level anti-cheating software. Many of those specific games are straight up unplayable on Linux.There are many more reasons, but I believe I touched on some of the more common ones.
>>109557349That sort of thing is why I run a variety of OS. Windows is effectively free, too. I've mainlined Linux since Mandrake but sometimes Windows or DOS etc are useful and my PCs exist to serve me. The greater the variety the more I learned and still do. Distrohopping and having multiple OS and OS versions is easy as there are so many ways to go. I never "switched" because I "add" instead. That way there is no urgency if any one computer or install shits the bed.Instead of trapping myself with only one notebook or desktop which is severely limiting also chose to accumulate a variety of PC so I get more choices with very little effort. Computers are far too necessary and generally useful to own just one. They take very little space (I'll get to that since so many Anons fill their desk or table top inefficiently) and learning how to work on them is trivial (and the first thing noobs should do after learning basic use). I have or do:Run my desktop with hard drive swap racks (each OS to its own but they can share storage without effort).Run multiple desktops from a single set of keyboard, mouse and keyboard and speakers.Run multiple desktops and notebooks both at various rooms (to avoid carrying hardware while having each even more conveniently at hand) and my home machine/welding shop where I store preloaded backup and vintage hardware.Enjoyed many VMs, also a way to run Windows 11 as a guest on supposedly unsuitable hardware.Hung PCs from walls with a dollar's worth of lag hooks for zero footprint (ideal for servers) and so I could cover them with framed Pepes or whatever. Some hang notebooks and this spring I'll do that too. Kept notebooks and printers on a rolling plastic cart (light, kind to wood work), easily moved for cleaning.I also have a RAM vehicle mount for my X200 bolted to the printer cart.
>>109557337>I just switched for the first time in my life to Ubuntu from Windows 11Same
>>109570766All perfectly valid for single machine owners, but any gayming or other powerful hardware can support any or many VM, or boot multiple hard drives externally if not internally.Ability to run multiple OS means if an updoot smegs your Windows install you can immediately or nearly so run another Windows install. On any machine I like I image the boot drive for fast recovery even in event of hard drive failure since all my machines have removable RAM and storage. I'm extremely lazy so set and forget overkill works nicely.It's easy to make VM of Windows drives. I've not needed more than old Disk2vhd.VM gaming has some performance penalty but many Anons use their Windows box for more than that. They can also go V2P to clone VM to bare metal. Gayming is far more detailed than merely installing and using an OS and itself can be regarded as a game because surmounting challenge is the reward in both. At least one extra PC or swappable hard drive removes any stress from distro hopping. That's why my first cheap eMachine Celeron in 2000 got a cheap swap rack and another for the second tray. Fuck downtime when ya can experiment and learn with zero risk. That method ends option paralysis since users can boot whatever including multiple Windows versions (for example for retro gaming). Live booting doesn't just work with USB fobs. I've dumped multiple live .isos on a Ventoyed spare SSD without issue.Live booting is also a great way to sample WinPE/RE/etc live Windows toolkit versions. No need to learn it all at once. Games are far more complex.
>>109557350Others have that problem. I just googled "LG gram very slow to boot linux" and that seems common.https://github.com/DionKill/lg-gram-linux may help.https://artofcode.wordpress.com/2020/01/26/very-slow-boot-loading-in-linux-mint/#:~:text=It%20was%20the%20GRUB%20boot,time%2C%20usually%20below%2010%20seconds.
>>109557337Loonix has shit laptop battery life, Windows has all the optimization layers which makes the battery last 1.5 - 2 times more.
Ubuntu is a great distribution and does many things right. just use whatever fits your needs or you like most; shrimple ass
>>109557349Pros don't use Adobe shit anymore. And you don't need it.
>>109571928Well if they're not using Adobe, then what do they use?
>>109571937DaVinci, Blender, Reaper, ProCreate, etc.
>>109571975That's great for those looking to move from Premiere Pro, After Effects and Audition, but what about the professional replacements for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign? Lightroom? Substance Designer and Substance Painter?
>>109572010>Blender>ProcreateBlame the industry for making iPad the new standard for image stuff. I don't like it either, but fact is all professional digital artists are on Procreate now.
>>109557356>running 2 operating systems in the same time without reason
>>109557337(K)Ubuntu 26.04.1 is expected towards the end of this month and I will be switching from Win10 to Kubuntu. The machine is 8 years old and the cruft makes it rather unstable.Kubuntu is probably mnore comfy for those used to Windows, and Trinity Desktop is probably comfy for old school users.>>109564930>I dont want windows friendly, I want something differentTried ToaruOS or SerenityOS? Avoid Redox-OS.
>>109571928After the Pantone disaster, people are well adviced to stay away from that. Who know what they will mess up next time.
