6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Jumping to Linux just picking a distro
-
Installed kubuntu on the laptop so I can get used to it.
Still trying to find a AV and firewall app I likeClamAV, if you want more than just common sense. Firewall is built-in to kubu.

I can't afford a new computer right now and tariffs meaning higher prices means I can't anticipate affording one in the near future. My plan is to see where everything's at when they stop doing updates. Unfortunately.

Been using Linux since 2005. Really don't understand why so many people put up with Microsoft planned obsolescence, spyware, ads, etc. Linux is easier now than it's ever been. Most things work out of the box if you pick a reasonable distro. If you're going to be pushed to learn a new paradigm, do it once more by learning Linux and stop being pushed.

Just moved my Win10 machine to Pop OS. No issues at all. Haven’t tried Steam VR on it yet.
Me too a couple months ago, Pop OS has been awesome for me

Have you ever seen how to draw a circle in GIMP?
I hate you :c that was... Disturbing

I might get downvoted or whatever but Windows 11 is fine. I get it if your PC straight up can’t run it, that’s a tough spot. But as an OS it’s fine, even has a few handy features (besides all the AI crap shoehorned in). I actually like the File Explorer changes and the window snap stuff can work in the right setting.
No it isnt, the bloat is actually insane.

I upgraded to Windows 11.
I tried Linux but but so much stuff isn't supported so I got rid of it.

Linux is the way

Hmm, I suppose the big difference between Fedora and Kubuntu is that Fedora is a fixed point release distro (similar to rolling release but less frequent) that applies updates only on restart, so it's possible that it needs a moment to ensure that everything is compatible.
It's certainly a weird choice to kidnap your desktop, so I don't blame you for being annoyed. If that's causing this, then you might want to try a stable release distro. This is part of why I like Debian, because it doesn't change very quickly and updates are unlikely to need special care to ensure stability. Debian also doesn't have the issue you're talking about, it updates right away in the background.
Kubuntu is Ubuntu-based (duh) so if you like how it behaves, you could try Debian (which Ubuntu is based on) or try another flavour of Ubuntu. Pop!_OS and Zorin are both Ubuntu-based and should definitely be on DistroSea.
Thanks. That seems like a good jumping off point.

I have an older pc that I use as a a Plex server so as soon as I get some time I will fully switch to Ubuntu.

Make the jump to Linux and loose 90% of the games you play as well. If all you play is steam games and don't care about many that can't be played then sure.
I get the appeal. But windows 11 is the same thing as 10. -

Can I ask how you got Win11? And are we talking MS feature bloat or third party stuff? I had Micro Center build my PC so it didn’t come from a manufacturer. There doesn’t seem to be any third party bloat, besides the occasional fucking ad for an app in the Start menu.

The more people hop onto Linux the faster and better funded support for Linux development becomes. If you're a single player gamer or play Valve multiplayer games primarily, make the jump to Linux. Get on Mint, get on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc and get off Microsoft's shitboat. You already took off from Reddit. Wean off all these other money/data leeches

It's weird how MS's putting developers first became a joke. Back in the 80's, companies like HP and IBM had open warehouses with coders at desks lined up like factory workers. MS was the first big company to give a private office to every programmer.
The approach isn’t what became a joke, it was the absolutely unhinged way in which it was presented.

Maybe, he is indeed looking hella rough in this photo.
Seems he's using the same orange tan as the other orange guy haha

RDP clients on Linux are ass.
Remmina is better than windows native remote desktop shit imo
Used it, it was probably the best, but still bad. If not for work, it would have been good enough though.
Most of the RDP implementations are also just based on FreeRDP, so they're basically the same. I had terrible picture quality on all of them, even over local network, and the USB passthrough barely worked.
Tbh since I need the system for work, I wasn't able to test stuff super long. Maybe I should install Linux on a secondary system, so I can just play around and try stuff.

Will upgrade my dual-boot, until all my games and stuff works on Linux I can't ditch Windows... Also until I find a replacement for MusicBee's file explorer view.
