Thank you. <3

Used to be a big XFCE fan, but I was experiencing icon scaling bug which made all my icons pixelized and hard to read. I solely use KDE now. I used to like Gnome, but it feels like they’re working their hardest to make the DE as bad as possible for power users and make it look like a nasty mobile UI.

Thank you. (-ω-)7

I’m both completely infertile and gay. Fuck a bit in my place, will ya?

Not to mention all the old, sick and disabled, or simply injured, are guaranteed shitload of suffering since the apartheid genocider state cut off electricity and water, so this includes to the hospitals.

Do you still have the other one? I’ve been waiting months. :c

I wonder if people like that are why I was denied volunteer help on indie games with very broken English I wished to fix. :(

Decently sure adults need defense too.

I don’t use Gnome, as I had other issues with it. I solely use KDE with Wayland on endeavourOS (so Arch). I have multi monitor issues on W10 at work and I’m waiting to upgrade to W11. I’d request Linux, but due to the project I cannot. I’ve heard plenty of bad stuff about Gnome crashing for people and had it crash for me as well. I’d recommend giving KDE a try if you aren’t too tired of trying, but I respect your choice of W11. Most people don’t have multiple screens though. I don’t recommend Linux to niche users, since they may have niche needs.

I swear I’m not a Linux snob, but Linux is legitimely better for the average user than Windows. If you just need to use a browser, as MANY people do, Linux is more lenient on hardware and doesn’t lock you into an update screen of helplessness. I highly recommend ZorinOS, it has an option specifically for older machines.

Ohh, I got that warning on Adblock Plus on Firefox just now as well. Gonna move back to uBlock and hope it works.

Dope, I’ve been using EndeavourOS with KDE with Wayland and it’s a great experience. Best distro by far (for myself).

Signal abadonned supporting SMS completely and afaik RCS is spoken of in regards to SMS.

What did you not understand about work? The MS ‘ads’ are about the MS software only afaik and my work requires operating via their suite.

I hate W10 so much I moved to Linux. Cursed tablet-first “OS”. At work we are supposed to get W11 soonish and I look forward to that. It takes a while to roll out new OS in companies. Once it happens, people will get used to it and probably upgrade at home.

Idk anything about laptops, but I revived my father’s gf’s laptop by installing ZorinOS on it. It was practically unusable, still running on Vista. ZorinOS has a special build for older machines which I found suitable for a laptop, and it looks very nice. IDK why people recommend Mint, it looks atrocious, which I fear may put off people from Linux akin to how Ubuntu does, but perhaps I’m wrong. Either way, I find ZorinOS perfect for starting with Linux or even staying on it.

I currently use endeavourOS, because I’m terminal centric, but in reality it’s such a great distro I just open terminal on a whim, type in yay, which updates the system and that’s it.

I had 4 ads stop me 4 times in 5 minutes from starting to watch my first video. And they were the long ads you can skip, but if not, they will last. I miss back when a banner at the bottom of the video was an annoyance.

I actually found Plasma as a new user very frustrating, but you can customize it into perfection without needing any extras and it generally just works. Gnome you need to download extra stuff to customize and it frequently doesn’t work, because their corpo hates people adjusting stuff for themselves, for whatever reason.

Ubuntu literally made me use Windows for years. It was my introduction to Linux and poisoned the well for me. I’m glad I got over it eventually.

I highly recommend ZorinOS for newbies.

Alternatively: openSUSE (if you don’t like terminals), Fedora (required some customization via terminal for me), endeavourOS (just works, arch-based, but the install didn’t work on my old PC for some reason).

I recommend KDE over Gnome for the desktop environment.
