I have to use it for work, and the difference between how my work laptop and my personal laptop (Debian 43) handles basic tasks is stark.
The stuff like “will my headphones work?” has been solved for years at this point. I’m talking even more basic, like rendering the UI and loading menus.
Yep don’t believe me see what kids on windows are doing(fixing what should have been already fixed years back)
Yep, been over a year now on Linux, I’ll never go back.
It really is.
I’ve been a Unix maximalist since I can remember, but I’ve never convinced my peers to follow.
Since windows 11 has dropped, every single one of them now has a Linux machine for one purpose or another. Some are now considering a complete purge of MS products, as I have.
It’s happening.
Friend!
It’s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It’s glorious, isn’t it?
They’re isn’t one positive thing to say about it at all. Not even one.
Sure there is: Sometimes it doesn’t boot. And nobody can deny that it’s been great for driving linux adoption!
There’s one thing Windows does that I miss. The big preview pane in file explorer.
Dolphin seems to have that feature. Menu (the three lines button in the top right) > Show Panels > Information
windows in general has always been a failure. I love how now I can solve most problems
