Gregory's Server@shansterable @PurpleJillybeans the beautiful thing about Linux is you can set it up onc and do updates regularly and you'll be good to go forever without any Windows updates issues!!! So long as you don't choose #ubuntu. Wait no, that's wrong too... D'oh!

 @Cefr the best thing about Arch is their software repositories. The worst thing is... Most of the rest of it. I run Arch and I seem to never run out of things I hadn't configured yet  @Cefr @shansterable @PurpleJillybeans don't get me wrong, I've used Ubuntu many times over the years... But as time goes on, I want to use it less. Debian 12 is my new default. IMO anyone willing to consider Linux will likely be fine with whatever the first distro they land on, and desktop environment, whatever it may be. They are all familiar enough to figure out where firefox is and how to get to whatever sites they want. The major bit of it is the "topic of interest" or why they are switching @Cefr @shansterable @PurpleJillybeans 2/2 and Linux... Gamers will find gaming distros, programmers will find programmer distros, office, small business, school, etc.... but at the end of the day, none of it really matters until another Chromebook moment happens, but it's real Linux, not chrome. Most people these days just don't care about privacy.. which is what everyone is assuming will make the masses switch from windows. They have been shouting that since the 90s. Gaming is a start though.. |
@sn0n @shansterable @PurpleJillybeans Sad thing is Ubuntu is the most experience I have to share.
I get the criticisms: what once they had as a secret sauce almost every other distro either does better in, or specialized deeper in that Ubuntu can manage. (Linux Mint has a huge fan base, Elementary OS does a Mac desktop better than Mac at times, Pop_OS really wants Makerspace types and gamers to adopt it, etc. All of which use Ubuntu as a jumping off point...)
Then there's ArchLinux. 😄
