2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

what a terrible take. honestly this community is like a parody of itself sometimes

How so? 7 is the last good version of Windows. It's not surprising some people want to keep using it. It does have security issues but at least there are no ads in the Start menu and it doesn't shill for OneDrive on startup.

So that is true it doesn't do those bad things, but what makes it actually good and not just not bad?

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago

Nothing, it's still Windows. But at least it doesn't actively get in the user's way.

Fair enough. I wish we could fork it.

Edit: by we I mean someone who knows what they're doing or even what should be done. Which isn't me.
