He makes a great point about separating “the FOSS crusade” from the linux discussion.
I’ve decided to run Linux as my main os next PC build… I said that two years ago and still haven’t built my new rig.
I’m terrified of switching. There’s just way too much information out there. So many options.
I’m used to being in a box with just one or two ways of doing things.
Does anyone know a good series to help windows users adapt?
Just need web surfing and gaming including steam vr
Honestly, just go with Debian Stable (bookworm) with KDE or Linux Mint. It is pretty stable and a windows like experience.
I have not tried VR on it tho, so can’t speak to that.
Sorry, but Debian stable is a terrible recommendation! They don’t even ship bugfix releases of KDE Plasma… It’s stuck with a months old version that has lots of known and long fixed bugs in it
Fair point, but for someone who doesn’t like tinkering and is afraid to make the jump to Linux, I still stand by the suggestion.
Different people value different things and that’s okay.
When folks will stop with the “If Linux won’t become another Windows, it’ll fail” mentality? Linux is not Winblows – and we really mean it. To “increase adoption” users need to acknowledge (only) this – that both Windows and Linux differs from one another and that won’t change in any time soon.
Who said anything about Linux becoming Windows?
