This is so true recently because recently developements in linux OSes are too fast

Most people that I've seen go back to Windows are people who tried something like Fedora as their first distro for some reason, and then left because they found it too complicated. Instead of going for an easier one like Mint

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

That is the quirk of being splintered in so many different distros, and all the users recommending a different one.

It is by far the biggest reason why Linux hasn't gone mainstream.

New users are having to deep dive into all the different possibilities just to find the one that does what they want, before they can even start the process of installation.

Compare that to Windows: just install the latest one

Or Mac: you are forced to use the latest one.

That is indeed strange, I started with Fedora for some reason and I still use Fedora. Great distro tbh, my only complaint is that more things are .deb instead of .rpm, but .rpm is common enough.

Problems?

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

All of the problems so far

I was just about to give up on it the other day after using Mint for the last 6 months because I was having weird instability issues. Anytime I would play a game it would freeze within 15 mins. Turns out XMP had somehow gotten turned on in UEFI settings. Must have done it by accident the last time I was in there. Anyways, disabled it and all my issues disappeared. I would have been pissed if I wiped Linux and reinstalled Windows only to still have issues.

I need to dual boot Windows for my stupid Xbox games and stupid Office that don't run in Wine. 😭

[–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I know you probably mean newer Xbox games, but check out xemu if you like retro titles.

[–] 5PACEBAR@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Steam and Lutris are amazing 😎

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So you just like MS Office?

[–] 5PACEBAR@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I actually do but I'm slowly getting used to LibreOffice 🙂
