      This article is paywalled. How do I install Linux? Do I buy it? I’m done with Microsoft

    2. FredTargaryen on

      Not saying either is better but I suspect for every article like this there is someone who tried Linux, hated it and went back to Windows

      Unfortunately, many professional applications simply don’t make Linux versions. It’s just not an option for any professionals in many fields, mine included. I run Linux servers and elsewhere where I can, but until things like autocad have native versions, I’ll be using windows at work.

      I have 3 computers, I run Windows on just my gaming desktop. I’ve been using Linux for 15 years but it really is limited in a few ways, but those limitations have been shrinking. It’s significantly more user friendly and I’ve noticed distros even coming with built in tools that you previously needed to use terminal for.

      Do I think Linux is for most people? Well, actually yes, as long as brand new games aren’t your go to since games do perform better in Windows with fewer issues overall. Don’t expect the best video or music editing experience either. But if you just want a basic laptop for going online, writing, etc. absolutely I recommend it over Windows now a days. I would not be saying this in 2012. I graduated high school with Ubuntu on my laptop that year.

      As someone who works in Linux systems every day professionally, I would never use it on my home setup. It’s great for enterprise infrastructure but it’s not user friendly for everyday tasks and entertainment.

      I feel the same – Nobara OS makes it really easy for you, everything has a GUI and thanks to Proton I haven’t run into any issues. Sure, I can’t play League anymore and as it turns out Rocket League as well, I don’t care for Battlefield 6, so I don’t really mind.

      And in exchange I have infinitely more customization, roughly 10 extra frames on every game and so much more QoL improvements!

      >I don’t miss Windows at all

      Admits he still uses Windows regularly. Hard to miss something you’re still actively using.

      These articles do not help Linux; the headline is clickbait, and most of it is just someone bemoaning all the issues they have with one specific distro.

      What about driver support? Windows has my five year old HP camera and finger scanner disabled.

      I dual boot CachyOS and Windows. Until frame generation and HDR work properly on linux, Windows is where I spend most of my time.

    13. GemmyGemGems on

      I have Linux on my laptop because my laptop is so old windows won’t allow the new OS on it.

      I’m not a Linux pro but I know how to use it.

      My daughter needed to use a computer and I gave it to her. She’s 18. She basically never uses computers other than at school. She could do everything she needed.

      There’s this big that Linux is so complicated. It’s really not. For most users (word processing, internet usage) it doesn’t really feel any more different from Android Vs iPhone. The names of things are a bit different but the functionality is there.

      Edit: The point I am making is the UI and UX is there now. You can drag and drop docs. You can go and install from your browser of choice for many things or find a substitute.

      It’s not a mystery terminal controlled OS anymore. It’s user friendly. Anyone can use it. Which is a good thing.

    15. thatirishguyyyyy on

      I dual boot because I am an IT consultant. I need Windows for most of my security systems. 

      Linux works well for everything else and gaming is getting easier and easier. 

    16. jarod1701 on

      What’s the term for the symptom where you constantly claim that you’re totally fine with X but are craving other people’s confirmation that X is fine because you’re actually totally insecure about it.

      „After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all“

      Yeah, on my servers.

    18. Whargod on

      The one thing that really stops me from full adoption of Linux is the remote desktop support. Where I work we use all the security features we can for our RDP sessions and I haven’t found a single Linux RD application that reliably works whereas Windows just works perfectly.

      But so far that’s my only complaint. Otherwise I’ve had no problems indulging my constant Steam gaming habits with my Intel CPU and 4080Ti video card which I think is a super nice expereince.

    19. CrustyBappen on

      I used Linux for many years back in my software engineering days. When work offered me a Mac I never looked back.

      Linux was an endless pain in the arse and I knew what I was doing. No way would I recommend it to anyone as a consumer OS. Go buy a Mac.

    20. Nerwesta on

      From the article, I thought I was being crazy and re-read that part :

      >Fortunately, everything that’s gone wrong so far has only gone slightly wrong, like a gaming mouse that only works in games, and most of it has been pretty funny, like a gaming mouse that only works in games.

    21. Croweslen on

      I like using linux. I just wish more mainstream apps because available.

      Fusion360, the adobe suit and elgato to be specific.

      I know theres work arounds but when your so used to a specific workflow it gets annoying trying to learn a new program

    22. redditistripe on

      The Windows vs Linux wars are destined to never end. I recall it from the Windows NT days. Remember NT?

    23. cryptotrader87 on

      I went from windows to Linux to Mac. I prefer Linux however it’s more because I do a lot of development and I’m always just running in a Linux vm/container on a Mac. Seems overkill

      I like Linux Mint, but my gaming PC is still running Windows. I got tired of trying to get games to run correctly on Linux.

    25. fakemessiah on

      I put Linux mint on an older (like 2019) budget gaming laptop. I only use the laptop for web based things so it’s fine. In the beginning I tried to mimic what I was doing on Windows and had a bad time until I just realized what my use case was. And that was to just have a snappy os on an older machine that could browse the web and use web based apps.

      Bonus is that on Linux my fans aren’t running at 100% of the time. They barely run, so it’s nice and quiet.

      I don’t like the route humanity is going with AI, but it has helped me fully move to Linux by instantly fixing all my issues with the OS.

    28. TrailJunky on

      Using windows the the best advertisement to use Linux.

      With distros like Pop! and the venerable Ubuntu, along with the ability to get open source versions of almost every pice of software you may need, there is no reason to stay with Microsoft unless it is because of work requirements.

    30. Expensive_Shallot_78 on

      Good for you, but if your have professional use cases that is a different animal. Specialized hardware and drivers, Excel, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, … part of a centrally controlled domain and network, with Azure integration and what not. Your favorite Triple A games etc. I have honestly more important things to do than caring what my OS is.

    31. Incoheren on

      I watched a tutorial on how to install Linux and it seemed pretty simple but I’m way too scared of bricking my whole computer by doing something dumb lol. Like it wants me to initially install it on the same drive as windows what the helly that’s already intimidating for a noob like me I’d prefer to just put it on E drive or something and leave the C drive alone till it’s confirmed working…

    32. brenden77 on

      Could I dual boot windows and Linux in the same machine? I feel like I’d need the fallback for games that don’t work right.

    33. wet_tank on

      I switch to mint 3 months ago and haven’t looked back. Still have lots to learn but with forums, Reddit, and LLMs. I can usually find what I need. 

    36. Soft_Walrus_3605 on

      I’ve tried to install, use, and enjoy many flavors of Linux since the 90s and yet Windows remains the workhorse.

      Outside of the family I was born into, I’ve had a relationship with the Windows operating system longer than any other entity in my life.
