Why does that website have the same layout as one of those AI-generated blogs that clogs up search results on DDG? It isn't AI, but the design is almost identical.

Finally, the year of Desktop Linux. Twenty years after we were promised. And it's still a pittence, but I'll take it.

I'm on a Mac, only use Linux for server stuff, but the more people we can get off Windows, the better. Let's go!

I'm just waiting for double digits so that the FiveM devs can't ignore Linux gamers anymore and actually allow for GTAV online playability. I mean, you can run a server on Linux but can't play? Dumb.

I switched to mint like a month before PewDiePie lol

My main issue is that I kinda need actual Excel every so often because I require things like power query. I tried installing it using Wine, but it needs to authenticate with Microsofts servers, even the older versions.

Just switched to Linux for my daily driver laptop!

I mean good for the desktop experience on Linux, its taken the movement of most desktop apps to the web to make OS choice basically immaterial. I’ll still nitpick some things in linux that are still worse than Windows (i’ve replaced my htpc with a cheapo N100 and its better in most ways, worse in a few smaller things), but the most important thing is that the things I mostly use a desktop for (namely media consumption, browsing, some game streaming, and docker containers) its more or less the same as using windows or macos.

It would probably be more if there weren't so many Linux gatekeepers that tell people to "go back to Windows/Apple" when they ask a questions.

I've only ever found the Linux community helpful. I'm not saying there aren't dicks out there (I saw the one in this thread even) but for the most part people are more than willing to help out.

Did this happen to you in particular? Most tech oriented people (and Linux users by extensions) are generally chill

Should be 105 percent the way Microsoft treats it's users.

I'm on EndeavorOS for 2 months, and I just installed Bazzite on my kids desktop! As long as Sober keeps working for Roblox, we are golden.
