“But if we put all the world’s shares into Linux, the other Kernel Patron Units would be incapacitated!”

… I doubt anyone will get this reference.

Competition and choice is good, it keeps the ecosystem healthy and resilient.

how easy is linux? i see so many memes now and i wanna switch but I'm not confident in it

[–] sharkfucker420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

It's pretty easy imo if you start with a Debian distro

[–] MrSlicer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You can easily try it out by booting from usb.

Start by exploring Linux Mint or ZorinOS.. Both are optimized to feel like Windows.. You can watch YouTube videos about them to understand what I mean

At the risk of analysis paralysing you.. But if you have an Nvidia video card, I would start with Pop!_OS

I recently tried pop os but gnome did not seem reasonable for me on multiple monitors.

Thanks for your addition! It is working fine for me, but I may have changed the config a bit from the default, don't remember everything. I have default tiling now and that works really well.

One of the things that is a must for me is 1 panel that shows the windows and apps per monitor. I can't work any other way, I'm not looking to drastically change my workflow more so than Linux alone already is. My quick Google search said that it wasn't possible on Gnome 44 and I gave up.

That said, KDE is laggy and unresponsive. It's also fairly unusable. Everything else besides those 2 is like going back 20 years to desktop environments of the olden days. I just want something modern that works with my workflow.

No one would agree on the visual design, and most people would just want an unstyled box because it’s more efficient.

It was all fun and games until the wifi driver didn't compile...

Linux itself does nothing for desktop computing, you also need GNU and the rest of the free software suit to better the world
