    I know you’re not impressed that I use Ubuntu but it’s not Windows, and I can’t be bothered to learn a damn thing about how to operate a system.

      I wish Linux distro devs would interview you about your experience. If the goal is wider adoption, we need to understand how to make it friendly for real. Your opinions are very valuable.

        Switched to Mint recently and had 0 problems, took no effort to make the switch at all. I still have Windows if I need it, but why would I ever need it, Mint isn’t all that different from Windows, but better

      I used to use ubuntu but stopped bc i couldnt really game without dual booting to windows anyway.

      Would you recommend ubuntu now? I know linux gaming is in a much better place, it just wasnt user friendly as an OS back in 2010

        I switched from win 10 to bazzite the hardest part of the process was remembering my steam password and finding the setting in bios to boot to the usb. Ill never buy another windows pc again.
        Luckily im forces to use win 11 at work./s

        Currently running cachyOS and have almost no problem running games besides having nvidia 1060 3GB so just old hardware not for modern games. But I can probably run anything and what’s not for Linux just use wine, that works much better now than I remember. Also I’m very much a noob that just can use a search engine.

        I gamed on it when Proton magically made it so games I bought on Steam worked. Otherwise I just gamed on an Xbox before that. I only recently switched to popos, (still gaming on it). I started on Slackware 3.4 and switched to Ubuntu in 2006-2007. I think as long as you aren’t on the LTS version, you should be good. In any case, it’s not a permanent decision and seems like every distro is crazy fast at installing these days. Worth a go whatever you try or where ever you land.

      You’re not meant to operate the system. That’s what the operating system is for, silly

      If Ubuntu works for you then that’s good. Don’t listen to the gatekeeping weenies who shit on people for not using arch or whatever. Most of them haven’t built their os from source and are just roleplaying having a unix beard.
