Can’t tell you what laptop to buy, but distro wise I’d recommend either Pop OS, Zorin or Linux Mint. Zorin is most windows-like, with Mint coming in second. Pop OS is very different but incredibly user friendly.

Muscar, in Year of the Diagonal Linux Desktop, y'all

You failed with the image, though. The graphics aren’t supposed to rotate with the display.

Why would Ubuntu be worse than any other distro?

Firefox is literally already right there tho…

cows_are_underrated, in Can't relate to be honest, I still use MBR boot

Im happy that I haven’t fucked up the bootloader so far. Don’t want to fix that shit too.

funkless_eck, in Linux users when

why doesn’t my version have a launch button like the gif, btw? Genuine question. I have to launch it separately from SUPER+A every time

prime_number_314159,

A major factor is the window manager you use, and the settings of that window manager. I’m not up to speed with it, but I think this one is GNOME.

I don’t think so, they’re probably 120mm.

genie, in Looks like I'll be distrohopping again!

Fedora + Nix package manager and never look back!

cmgvd3lw, in It happens 🤷

Quick hard shutdown.

Just accept the winning side.

BoastfulDaedra,

So, mind-skipper in that you forgot to pick one up when they were being handed out?

hikikoma,

This is bait right? It HAS to be…surely.

MindSkipperBro12,

No. I am not joking.

hikikoma,

You are the whole joke I’m afraid.

This is for you, good sir.

Tischkante, in Your PC will thank you...

This is just anecdotal, but if they’re normal users and have a bit of money, advise them to get a mac. If not, they don’t need your help.

westyvw, in Completely untrue nowadays...

My scanner/printer works flawlessly ij Linux. It’s fantastic. I cannot get it to work in windows, but no big deal I rarely use windows anyways.

But it is amusing that it simply will not work in windows.

And this printer is from 2023.

droans,

Set up a CUPS server and it’ll work fine with Windows too.

Printers are a massive headache on both. But at least with CUPS it’s only a massive headache once.

westyvw,

I could, but you would think their own driver would work!

Not a pain on Linux at all. Printing is a breeze. As is scanning. Go figure.

droans,

It always comes down to the vendor and driver.

On Linux, I had to go through a dozen different drivers and just as many driver versions before I found the one that worked with my printer. For Windows, it worked immediately.

With my old printer, though, it was the opposite experience. Took forever to get it working on Windows but Linux got it immediately.

You’d think by now, with the dozen different printing standards that exist, we’d have some sort of plug and play driver that could work with every printer.
