I've seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They're Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I've had more success here.

Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

EDIT: If you're hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you'll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

This is a tough sell. I just got the RG35XX H recently for <50 USD. Seeing all this is mostly the same besides a bigger screen and new shape, is it really worth a double in cost?

Plus I assume the bigger screen would mean the device is bigger overall. To me, one of the key features of the 35XX H is it's pocketability.

At ~17 USD a month, you could buy nearly every new song you like that you found that month in CD quality or better.

Start building your own library.

don't forget the second part where i quit something i'm good at because i don't immediately see exponential growth which means my current abilities are a mere fluke

I felt they were using the fact that Batman is an orphan, and being a billionaire is an excuse to explain how he can fund his... hobby?

But I could see the billionaire propaganda aspect as well. I guess it depends on the author's intent.

I'd recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.

If Gartner comes out with a decent AI model, you could replace over half of your CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, etc. Most of them lack any real leadership qualities and simply parrot what they're told/what they've read. They're their through nepotism.

Also, most of them use AI as a crutch, so that's all they know. Meanwhile, the rest of us use it as a tool (what it's meant to be).

I agree. I had to explain to a younger family member today that when I say "open notepad", I meant the application that's been on every Windows version since they were born, not to Google "notepad"

Gave me a crisis that people know so little of what would have been considered basic computer usage a while back.

In the before times, a firm handshake was indicative of a strong leader. Since the baby had a firmer handshake, they were instantly promoted.

If only it were that easy...

or photo editing, in which case GIMP is better, and it's FOSS

the world may never know

maybe, but i feel like while it may correlate, it's not the cause. the cause is more likely that if a parent cares enough to show their child art, they're probably more nurturing and prioritize academia more than parents who raise an iPad kid
