Not to mention there is no way Microsoft is going to pay it. They'll find a way to pass it on to developers or to end users who don't get a choice.
Well it's the one I'm testing. Spun up a vm just to take a look. Still trying to wrap my head around some stuff but overall I like it. It seems mostly intuitive and the ui is easy on the eyes.
Thats super helpful, thank you!
There are definitely a of of options, but I think thats a good thing in this case. I've seen quite a few people mention Pop_OS. I'm leaning towards giving that a shot and seeing how I like it. Thank you for the input :).
I've had a few people mention mint. I'll definitely give it a look. Probably try and dual boot on my current rig and poke around a bit. I have a little experience with Linux but nothing major and the options are a bit overwhelming.
I greatly appreciate the yt recommendation though. I'm always looking for solid sources of info and am happy to do more research once I have a little direction. Thank you kindly :)
You're the second person to mention pop_os. I'll have to do some more digging on that.
I swear the way linux distros are named never ceases to crack me up. It's part of the reason I came here to ask. I have some experience with raspberry pi lite so that I have a place to mess around and learn, but aside from that there are so many distros that it's hard to get direction. Most of what I know I pulled from distrochooser and some light googling. But it seems like everything is an ad so finding reliable info can be a journey.
At any rate thank you for adding to my list of research. I appreciate it greatly :)
I seems like the general concensus is Mint makes more sense for what I need. I'll need to do a little more looking and test it out.
I honestly hadn't heard of pop_od before so I may need to look into that as well. Most of my hardware I wouldn't mind replacing but I have a 3080, and dropping cash on a new graphics card seems suboptimal lol.
Mint was the other distro I looked at actually. Just doing some cursory reading I like the additional emphasis Zorin placed on privacy.
*rdit - Not saying that Mint doesn't in this case. Sorry i see it may have sounded that way from how I worded it.
Skyrim is one of the few games I think you could describe with sound alone and most people would know it :).
That one with all the dragons. You know the one, buM bada bum bada dum dum dum, ohhh OHHHH, BUM BADABUM.
I work from home and recently a client asked what the best part of working from home is. Without a second thought I told him it was shitting in my own toilet. It's honest to God the best part of working from home.
