I’ve switched to Linux because at this point it’s easier to deal with problems on Linux than using Windows and getting it to usable state.

And if something doesn’t run on Linux… I use something else, easy as that.

I remember having 10 inch netbook. It was okay for a while, but I would never want to go back to 10 inch display on a laptop. It’s just horrible to use. 13 inches is ideal for me =)

Then I don’t know what are you smoking. From the taskbar, window decorations to system settings - it’s very similar to how Windows 10 is designed, although with much less padding (by default, but it’s a good thing).

There are also some settings for the taskbar to behave more like a Windows 11 one, if that’s what you want.

Also as for icons they look much more modern than what’s on Windows, at least for me.

It works fine for me, and I use Wayland.

It looks very similar to Windows 10. You think Windows 10 looks like something from 00’s?

It doesn’t matter if it’s prettier, when I need to spend twice the time to do some basic stuff because I need to move my mouse cursor half way through the fucking screen, at least in GNOME apps.

How is that toleratable is beyond me.

Just open the preferences/settings on KDE and you see nothing but pure chaos.

It looks fine to me. Everything is categorized nicely and you know where to find something you look for. I am not sure about GNOME Settings, because I have never used GNOME more than 30 minutes (because of annoyingly shitty UX), but it’s at least much better than what Windows does.

I didn’t expect Windows to become THAT shit. Well it’s good for Linux I guess.

echo "alias apt='sudo rpm-ostree'" >> .bashrc

LMAO.

At least it’s not covered by a dark shade now.

Why does that matter? It looked fine.

It was literally my favorite design of online video player, and I remember enabling it back in the day when it was still an experimental feature.

Looks like UI from like 2005 lol.

Isn’t this explained in the manpages for apt(8) and apt-get(8)?

Do people don’t read their manuals anymore?

That’s a very nice desktop.

We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).

Why not put it in VM?

The only thing I’d suggest if you do that is to have at least 32 GB of RAM, because I was in a situations where running few Electron apps, and Win11 VM caused RAM to fill up. But if you’re not running Electron apps you should be fine with 16 GB.

And if you’re planning to play games, you could use GPU passthrough for near-native performance, but from what I’ve heard it’s a bit hard to set up.

5 years ago it was alright as well, or even 10 for that matter.

You know what gives me stress? Websites that reinvent scrolling.

In my house 3 computers are already running Linux (Raspbian on Raspberry Pi, Debian testing on my PC and openSUSE on a family laptop), and I already talked with my dad to install Linux on his personal laptop as well, which is probably going to be Linux Mint (I am planning to replace openSUSE on other laptop with Linux Mint as well, because openSUSE sucks).

You can either uninstall new version of Notepad or return to the old one using some registry trick (look it up).

Or you can download some version of Microsoft Notepad on the internet (probably not really that safe) or even ReactOS Notepad if you really insist of having such simple program, but using I’d recommend to use something like Notepad++ instead.

These are good alternatives for Microsoft’s Notepad and Paint:

1. For Windows:

• Notepad++
• Paint.net

2. For Linux (and other operating systems):

• KWrite (or Kate if you want to have more advanced features like Git integration, project explorer, extensions, etc.)
• Pinta (it recently got a pretty good 3.0 update, with GTK4/Adwaita integration)
