It was forced on to my computer.

You always had the choice to install Linux, and still do. Dont let them control your PC.

Yeah my corpo laptop will update to 11 on July 10th. I’m going to be testing out in house app on Linux with an older corpo laptop soon

And it’s dog shit too.

The AI crap added to notepad was something I didn’t believe until I saw it for myself. Like a fractal cauliflower blossom of bloat touching all things.

It takes 7 seconds for the terminal to load on my brand new laptop. I’m sure there’s some way to fix it, but that…just enrages me.

What’s even the difference? Same shit, a bit JS added.

More telemetry, more AI.

Unless we are all techies we don’t have much to switch to.

There’s plenty of tutorials on YouTube to walk you through installing all the major linux distros. And distros like mint are pretty streamlined now. It’s pretty straight forward. And there’s a good community here that is always willing to help.

I found Mint rather simple to install. That said, I am a techie. I am using several different distros in my house, but I wanted to live in Mint for a while to see how well a non-techie might fare. My reasoning was that since Ubuntu (Mint’s parent) is rather ubiquitous, there is more development and more attention paid to support and troubleshoot issues. So far, so good. Yes, being tech literate does help, but I think a non-techie could live with Linux. And over time, the environment will become more known like Windows is now.

I don’t have a significant need to use a laptop or desktop as my phone is my primary computing device. With that said, I run Mint Debian Edition on my laptop. Just because I want my computer to work when I go to use it, even if it has been six months.

I’m not a RedHat fan (actually very explicitly not a fan), but frankly Fedora with Gnome seems as problematic as Windows at worst, and very easy to install.

My workplace (government) has left it to the last minute and I bet a lot of others have as well. The numbers should shift hard in the next 3 minths.
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Governments really should be shifting entirely to Linux. Reliance on corps not to corp is not good practice for a government

… And it sucks

That’s only because I left for Linux.
