God Damn it MS
I’m sorry, is this an AI Generated keyboard…?
Not saying it isn’t, but if the reason why you’re saying that is because of the z/y key, I know one of the EU layouts swaps it. German I think?
Yes, a German keyboard has swapped the letter Z and Y (and some other differences). Maybe this is a keyboard that shows both so more people can use it.
KDE Dolphin works on Windows for those who really need Windows. Otherwise I recommend simplified Arch-based distros, but Mint is also good.
Does it? I know KDE used to make a Windows version back in the day, but I didn’t know that was still in development.
Lot of KDE apps are also on Windows, most famously Krita (art program that is on par with pqid proprietary offerings), but the KDE suite contains so many bangers like KATE (text editor faster than VSCode, with plugin support).
Everyday that passes my satisfaction has grown since jumping over to Linux Mint.
I nuked my win11 installation a week ago and went with cachyos (it’s arch btw) and I just feel like; even if mslop fixes their shit, I wont go back.
Woah, Arch users scares me, the way you meet someone that is much taller!
How is your time so far with the new OS? Lots of new things and issues?
Ive used arch on a few servers so it feels homey even if I’ve never used a wm before. Most issues has been small and solvable.
Sliding in the comments: CachyOS is really easy to use, nothing mystical about it:
Yeah, its handholdy.
Mints great. I like POPos myself but its all good.
Guys, what’s the best Linux distro to install on my PC?
The community:
Yep im guilty of that.
Honestly as long as theare using some kind of *nix im happy.
There’s no one size fits all for picking a distro, it’s up to the user.
I love when people try to criticize this. They cant imagine having options.
Yea it’s funny I’ve asked the community before whats the best Linux distro for XYZ and have had all sorts of responses. It took running mint, manjaro, ubunto, pop, tried arch, to figure out that it’s a ridiculous question. The community can only help you pick one to start with, but given there’s 3 real bases and thousands of choices off each base it’s quite frankly up to preference for the most part what Linux distro will work best for you!
Distro chooser is a thing. Or was. I’m not being able to open the site right now.
From that point forward, it is up to the user to decide how much or little they want or need.
I’m thrilled for seeing my RAM idle at half the amount it did when I was on Windows. Loving Mint… or any debian distro for that matter.
In these trying times it helps more than ever to run an OS that sips rather than slurps that precious ddr5.
Everyday that passes my satisfaction has grown since jumping over to Linux Mint.
Yes! Our recent Linux Mint software update drama was some nice new quality of life improvements coming to the next version of KDE Plasma.
Watching Windows 11 unfold from this side has been like sipping a cup of hot tea on the porch, wearing a good jacket, during a rain storm, while holding the storm door open for folks coming in out of the bad weather.
Had a yarn to the household today, it’s Linux time.
Give me LTSC or give me death!
Can I interest you in this beautiful Linux distribution?
Bazzite, all night. I’ll fortune to transition towards Linux but I still need the sad, commercial and technical predictability of Windows for some time longer.
I hope my company will switch to something different. Microsoft ist getting worse and worse
Let’s face it. Windows search couldn’t find shit before - what’s a few more hallucinations?
If I need to run some bespoke piece of software that doesn’t run on wine or a VM of older windows - I’ll find an alternative. I’ll leave Microsoft to its oily rags and matches.
What, you mean it wasn’t there already ? It’s the only place where it would be actually useful.
I’m sorry…
Helpful???
You would hope, but knowing how competent copilot is, it’s just going to turn out like this:
User:
I’m running out of space, can you help me clean up?AI:
Sure thing, I can help with that. You have some programs that haven’t been opened since 2017. Would you like me to delete them?User:
YesAI: OK, let me do that for you.
I apologize, but as an AI Agent, I am not allowed to delete files or uninstall programs automatically. You can remove them yourself, however. I have created the cleanup.txt file on your desktop, which you can run by renaming the file to cleanup.bat, right-clicking on it, and selecting “Run as administrator”.
User:
Thank you, I did that but it only freed up a little bit of space. Can you find more?Error processing request: 0xC3E9A005.
Unable to connect to copilot agent service:
The system can not find the module specified: “kernel32.dll”
I’m trying to think of a time when I thought “oh, if only I had an IA assistant in my file manager”…
Just put fedora on an old dell laptop and it recognized the dual nvidia and intel cards out of the box 🥳
I think I am really going enjoy this new feature in Windows. Enjoy laughing at Microsoft’s absurdity while using the latest new and actually useful features in Mint 22.3, that is.
Dual-booting Win 11 and Bazzite while I figure out the flow for myself and whether I can shove off into the deep end without Win 11.
If you enjoy gaming or steam-related apps, Bazzite comes kitted out with most of what you’ll need to be successful out the gate.
Aside from EAC-based games, I’ve found a lot of my games just run better without the Win 11 bloat in the background.
Exploring Windows alternatives has never been easier in my opinion.
Bazzite is great. I’m even able to do low latency wireless streaming of Beat Saber to my Quest 3 using Alvr, though I do get occasional crashes (AMD 9060xt)
Yeah, I know. Install Linux.
I’ll do that when every single gaming title works flawlessly on it and not a second before.
Until then, I’ll utilize whatever workaround the community comes up with to strip this shit out of File Explorer.
I’ve never had a single issue with any game on Linux. Just do it
It’s free bro just install it quit being a puss
Sorry, I like playing my games which span a 30 year timeframe. And if even one didn’t work on Linux, then it isn’t worth it to me.
Honestly all my games have ran on bazzite better than windows with better FPS. And much less RAM consumption. Even some of those EAC games run well.
The more people that leave MS the more support Linux games will get.
Ok, have fun on windows while the rest of us move to Linux and enjoy gaming there.
Between Lutris and Steam, I’ve been able to run every game flawlessly – several with better performance than I’ve seen on Windows, even.
The only limitation is anti-cheat software that some games (Team Fortress, Battlefield, etc.) require. I don’t play those types of games myself, so it’s not an issue for me.
Oh you holding out for those few microtransaction storefronts that are SO much fun?
Jokes on them i replaced explorer with Directory Opus years ago… The only piece of software i miss on linux its perfect
I wonder if I’ll soon be able to just lean back and bark orders at my PC.
