You're quite late. I don't know if you've heard, but they've got Windows 11 now. There are people using it. Not me, but people.
All true. The point is that win 11 doesn’t support a lot of old hardware that’s perfectly usable, just doesn’t have TPM2.0 chips built into them. There are some hacks around it, but it takes a great deal of desire and proficiency to make them work.
Yeah, and it sucks in like 30 other ways, but unfortunately people aren't smart and will be going to 11 like the drones they are. I'm dual booting Linux and 10 and spend 100% of my time on 10 because having to configure and go into terminal 24/7 isn't as fun as Lemmy makes it out to be.
You're not running any Linux that I've used in the past ten years then. What relic of a bygone age are you running?
Right? I've been running Mint the past year, can count the amount of times I had to boot into windows on my fingers, and having to use the terminal to do things is like an occasional, once every couple months thing, usually to solve a problem I've created for myself.
I remember trying Linux in the early 2010s. When it looked like a modern OS, but behaved like it always had up to that point. That was misery.
also anyone who complains about the terminal in Linux is clearly not very computer competent in Windows, as I recall frequently using Command Prompt and PowerShell to get shit done. At least, they're not doing anything remotely complex if they've never encountered or had to use either.
He's either using a 15 year old copy of Ubuntu, or he dove straight into the deep end with Arch like a dumbass and nobody told him about the wiki.
Or using an atomic/immutable distro like Bazzite. If it's not flatpacked, you have to either distrobox or docker it. Something as simple as a Plex server does require terminal use.
Lol. Not taking the bait on this one. Have a good Christmas.
Genuinely interested so I can try it out. It sounds like fun.
^ 10 bucks this guy uses Arch instead of anything simpler lol
Most settings average “Facebook machine” users need are available on common distros without touching a console.
Unless you want to emulate common windows software. Then only God can save you.
is QEMU god?
I've been on Linux Mint for the past several months and I think I've needed the terminal twice?
Once I couldn't find a GUI option to adjust the brightness/gamma, but searching found me the terminal command so I just used that.
More recently I needed newer Nvidia drivers than were available by default, so I had to add a new PPA thing. We'll find out later today if I'm going to regret that.
