Mac and Linux And linux on my macs. flawless
I installed Linux (ZorinOS) for the first time earlier this week. If I hadn't been as ignorant as I was about Linux in general, I would have started using it several years ago. In my ignorance, I assumed Linux was only for the super tech savvy/coding "nerds" type of folk and the only way I could use it was to become one first. I also assumed I had to buy a specific laptop with Linux already installed and what fueled that idea was me looking up laptops/desktops with Linux preloaded and all I saw was craaazy expensive devices. So I thought well apparently I wasn't in the "budget" to afford Linux. I literally had no idea I could just download the OS onto just about ANY laptop/desktop until….. a few days ago. And FREE at that. I was feeling very trapped with Microsoft
especially in the past year or sowith all these controversial and/or privacy-violating updates, so out of desperation I looked up a video about Linux. I'm SOOOO glad I did. I was so wrong about my assumptions (many of which I didn't even mention in this comment.) I am now FREE from the microsoft dungeon and will NEVER submit myself to it's shackles again. NOW is my time to learn linux!!With that said, there may be a lot more people out there like me who would switch immediately if they had the proper understanding of Linux. For me, all it took was ONE simple video that introduced it to me and the rest is history. I hope more people start looking into the alternatives… I see a movement starting!
M heart is with ElementaryOs. Unfortunately I was forced to go back to Windows since the company I'm working for is using teams and teams software in Linux is not able to de remote control.
At home I have an Elitedesk 800 G4 mini that multi boots Windows 11, macOS and Fedora KDE Spin. Most of the time I use macOS, because it integrates well with my iPhone and my family's iPhones. From time to time I play with Fedora. This changed over the years. I used Linux almost exclusively starting with SLS 1.03. But then I got an iPhone a couple of years ago and got into Hackintoshing.
I like Linux, but there is always something that is not as polished.
At work I use Windows and Linux.
All my programs and games work on Windows. If something pesky about Windows pops up, someone makes a fix for that, like with disabling/uninstalling Cortana, copilot, removing the TPM requirement, stopping telemetry, etc. As long as I can customize a Windows install with unattend scripts, Rufus iso image USB options, registry hacks/tools post install then pretty much forget about it until the next install, I'll stay on Windows. Unless… All my programs and games work on Linux, performance is just as good or better and it's less work to use Linux on the short and long term than using Windows. Then and only then will I switch to Linux. It's the law of least effort and there's no shame in it when you have a limited mental and physical energy budget to work with.
I have been seen this type of recommendation on every Windows update since Linux born and guess what… still have the same user base of about 1% (all geeks). Linux needs to go back and redesign itself to be user friendly for the masses, geeks are like 1% of the computer user community. Can you imagine your grandpa on terminal typing “sudo bs…” to just update an app? And I just learned, the hard way, that must of the younger generation don’t even know how to turn a computer on, they do everything on their mega dumb GUI phones 🙃🤦🏻♂️😂
Learning Linux is always actually. Especially if works in IT . 🐧
I use Windows because I couldn't make hardware decoding in YouTube work. I tried Chrome, Brave and FireFox in Mint and Nobara. And I have GeForce 1050, what could be simpler? I have spent a couple of hours, didn't succeed. As simple as that. But with this Copilot thingy I might give it another decent try.
Always Linux, with occasional MacOS, which has at least the benefit of being FreeBSD Unix all the way down.
