Why I switched to Fedora earlier this year,

I still technically dual boot with Windows, but I didnt boot it for months now,

The biggest stumbling block I had was gaming, but frankly it kinda is smooth sailing on Linux nowadays, I even got Escape from Tarkov to run on my machine, which wasnt really guaranteed, and I don't have any problem using Steam (or GOG through Lutris)

I will probably just completely get rid of Windows in the future

I've been using Fedora 40 (KDE spin) for a few months now. I am very impressed with how stable and fast it's been on my budget several-years-old all-intel laptop with only 8GB RAM. I did got the notification about Fedora 41 being available but I'm one of those weirdos who hangs back a full release for at least a few months (regardless of distro) for stability reasons.

I had an easier time getting fonv to run smoothe on Linux than I did on windows 8.

And 11's compatibility is even worse.

I do the same. I like to think of it more as the computer equivalent of an ML reading group. A privilege to help, not a chore to wade through.

I am open to trying Linux, but how can I make it as close to the Windows 10 experience as possible so I can baby step into it?

Fucking right? I need to get better at linux. My mint install keeps crashing in weird ways but i haven't cared enough to fix it.

I'm lucky in that almost all software i use that isn't games is foss already.

Fucking "ai"

Hey what if you had a personal assistant who couldn't do anything right and was always slpurnned out of their mind on halucinogens?

[-] moondog@hexbear.net 2 points 11 hours ago

Anyone else have their firefox keep crashing on Linux Mint? Particularly when I'm on websites like discord or youtube that aren't just text.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 11 hours ago

Yes, same. Haven't taken the time to look in to it but I'm having it a lot. Remving the default install of FF and pulling it from the repository or program library or whatever it's called on Linux reduced the frequency of crashes a lot but they still happen.

Hi :-)
We installed an update while you were asleep. Do you want to upgrade to Windows 11? How about sign in to your Microsoft account? Oh, I see, well we turned all of the ads and tracking back on so have fun finding the settings page to turn them off again!

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 32 points 23 hours ago

buried in a microsoft support forum post somewhere:

we also moved where that settings page is. enjoy

I recently switched to linux mint and have had no serious issues at all. In fact I like it more than windows and it isn't full of crap and spyware

I haven't even read the comments am I'm 100% sure it's been flooded by the illinuxati being like "hah, you use a WINDOWS?"

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 37 points 23 hours ago

using windows is basically like having a fed standing behind you at all times but also the fed likes to gossip with anyone that asks

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 26 points 23 hours ago

but the most annoying part is that the fed is also trying to gossip with you while you're trying to do shit on your computer

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 5 points 15 hours ago

And gets in the way and fucks everything up if you misclick and select the little unremovable fed button instead of tgd thing you wanted to do. Also replaces random shit like your file explorer with the fed button sometimes.

Fuckers installed co-pilot on mine when I was away and now my laptop has "no available device" for audio out. Like there's no option in settings for the speakers. Can't even plug in an audio cord. Nothing. They broke my shit and installed AI

Please, for your own sake and sanity, try Fedora. You can test drive it on a live disc.
