I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

    Fuck did we all go down the exact same pipeline? I just installed Linux last week and I haven’t booted up windows since.

      No. Some of us were already there.

      Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

      But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.

      The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

      But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

      So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).

          I like it, but I’m not exactly a power user and the only other distros I’ve used are Ubuntu and mint. I think if you want a Debian based distro that’s not tied to Ubuntu then Mx is a good choice. I know there’s LMDE too but as far as I know that’s only available with cinnamon, so Mx having KDE plasma is nice too.

          There’s the whole sysvinit Vs systemd but I don’t have a dog in that fight and enabled systemd, which Mx makes very easy even though they advise against it.
