To me it was like, oh, you made it different and that makes so much more sense, why are they not doing it like that in Windows? Or just during university; there is a tool for that format? And it is already installed? Nice.
I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

I’m about a year in. I started with mint and I’m on endeavor now. It can be a bit fiddly to get setup. Once setup it behaves the same way, but less ads and copilot/edge aren’t forced on you non stop.
The only issue we have is anticheat, and that only affects games like battlefield/cod. So not much of a loss there.

I’m not changing until they make a “Linus Proof” distro…

Why not try immutable distros? Fedora silver blue/kionote or bazzite have immutable system images. You cannot break them.

I will wait until they thrust it upon Linus. If it
passessurvives him. I will look into it.

I really wish we stopped linking users to random niche distros, its just much more common to run into bugs due to less users.

Only problem I have with Linux is it not working on my hardware. Windows of course works fine. So many stories of a Thinkpad T480 and Linux being such a dream, until you try it and it doesn’t work.

You are definitely doing something wrong. Does it really ask for a password to open a browser? Windows always asks for a password for all that other stuff if you’re not using an administrative account.
KingPapaDaddy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yes it does. I’ve never had to enter a password to uninstall anything from Windows before.

It could be the browser’s password manager triggering the system keyring to unlock.

Wait, does it not work on your hardware, or are you using it frequently enough to be bothered by passwords?
KingPapaDaddy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It mostly works. I have it set to dual boot and spend more time in Linux than in windows, forcing myself to use it. I also have a desktop that I use for windows on.
