Stillhart, to linux in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...

Windows was still DOS under the hood for a long time. Win 98 was Win 95. Win 8 was Win 7. This is nothing new for MS.

Windows 98 enters the chat

Stillhart, to linux in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

This is Clippy v2.0 and I’m sure it will be just as helpful.

Stillhart, to linux in Friendly reminder

Thanks, all setup!

Linux noobie here. Any tips on what to search for for instructions on how to do this? Bonus points if it has a GUI and is easy to use.

Stillhart, to linux in Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

I’m no expert, but if you’re installing both from scratch, my understanding is it’s easier to install Windows first.

Stillhart, to linux in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

You might check out the 1More wireless headphones. They’re my go-to recommendation for someone who wants something that’s not garbage but doesn’t want to pay full audiophile prices. I haven’t heard this particular headphone from them, but they’re known to have good sound quality for the price, generally by sacrificing some build quality. However, this beats out a lot of the comparably priced competition that sacrifices both.

My laptop has BT built in and it works fine with everything I’ve connected to it so I don’t see why any BT headphones wouldn’t work. I think you probably just need to get a BT card/dongle for your system and then you can use whatever headphones you want. So the question you probably should be asking is: what BT card/dongle works with my system?

Stillhart, to linux in Nobara 39 Officially Released

Because of the switch to KDE from Gnome? Or something else I’m missing?

Stillhart, to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

Garuda. I tried it because it’s supposed to be “gamer” oriented. I thought it meant it would make it easier/smoother for gaming. What they actually meant was it felt like being locked inside a gaming PC with flashing and spinning RGB lights everywhere. No fucking thanks.

Stillhart, to linux in As a normal, boring user that does nothing special other than browse the internet and the occasional "casual coding" -- what am I supposed to do with 32GiB of ram?

Yeah, that day when you got your first whole MB of RAM… I remember mine was on SIPP chips.

Stillhart, to linux in Just moved to linux

Easier for a linux noobie. Some people want easy, some people like to fiddle. It’s good to have choices.

If you’re using nvidia and like Fedora, try Nobara. It’s gaming focused and comes with nvidia drivers.

Stillhart, to linux in Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future

If you game, and especially if you use nvidiva, I’d recommend Pop!_OS or Nobara.

Stillhart, to linux in Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

If you’re not doing anything crazy, there’s no reason linux should be any harder to use than Windows.

Once you’re up and running, daily life will be pretty straightforward.

Plenty of great advice in the other posts that I won’t rehash. One thing I didn’t see mentioned is using a live boot to try out linux. You can basically run it off a USB stick before you install it to get a feel for what it’s like. Most “beginner friendly” distros will have tutorials on how to create the live disk. Example for Pop!_OS: support.system76.com/articles/live-disk/
