And 10 is extremely secure compared to the jungle that was XP, and 7 was barely doing well, so post EOL usage will remain high. Most people will just airgap their Win10 machines.
I literally had to run the windows version of handbrake in virtual box because for some reason the linux version can't save to the same directory as the input files while batch processing.
basically the same otherwise, fine for single files.
I’ve had no issues saving to same folder as source when doing batch transcoding queues on Arch Linux. As long as the input and output files does not have the same filename it’s fine.
Proxmox VE is a packaging of Linux as an operating system. It is a distribution. Straight from the wikipedia page:
It is a Debian-based Linux distribution with a modified Ubuntu LTS kernel[7] and allows deployment and management of virtual machines and containers.[8][9]
Cool way to respond to a comment btw:
Am I taking crazy pills?
The VMs I’m running in Proxmox are also Linux, but that’s less interesting to me.
I gotcha. I meant no offense. I was halfway hoping you’d tell me there was a spin of proxmox that was meant for desktop use that containerized everything or something.
How was this measured? Just asking cause a lot of PCs are sold with Linux there cause it’s cheaper and the user immediately slaps a pirated Windows on after purchase.
Have you considered Pop OS from System76? Pop OS has a GNOME-like DE where the dock is fully displayed. It’s very much like the macOS DE. The current stable release uses a GNOME-like DE, and the developers at System76 are working to make it into their own DE called Cosmic.
I would go with Mint because it has the largest selection of apps. Of course you can run any Linux program on any Linux distro, but with Mint you are able to just install almost anything without difficulty from a package manager like synaptic, or the built-in Mint Software Manager. That includes game launchers like Steam and Proton. This is, in my opinion, what makes Mint OS truly the most beginner friendly Linux distro.
Fedora is good too, but you need to grant it access to other sources of apps before you see the wider selection of apps outside of the more limited, strictly FLOSS apps that are available by default on Fedora. And these extra steps of finding trustworthy sources and installing them makes Fedora a bit harder to use, at least for beginners.
