Have you tried windows? It's similar to linux but it works, you'll get the hang of it real quick

I tried installing windows. My house is less drafty, but my computer still doesn't work.

Try opening them. The computer might have too much dust in it and the drafts might blow it out.

Is it a rolling distro or LTS? How many packages in the official repo? How easy is it to use? What desktop environment does it install by default? Does it package a recent Plasma? Oh and I'm assuming it's systemd right?

lemmy is not the correct place to promote windows

[-] aksdb@feddit.de 43 points 11 months ago

Lemmy is the right place for sarcastic comments though.

[-] CheesyFox@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

too bad I'm terrible at catching sarcasm

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Is there any place to do that?

Who the fuck genuinely thinks Microsoft needs people to help promote their thoroughly entrenched OS? Might as well help promote eggs for breakfast.

[-] CheesyFox@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

i guess, apple consumers are too technologically impaired to promote linux to them, so i guess windows is a good start for them, if the next version of it won't be even more of a coprorative shit of an OS of course.

I'm good thanks

Oh sure, unless they haven't bundled your drivers and then you lose days of pain. Some people value their time and having an OS that they don't need to configure everything for, buy specific hardware for, is good. There's a reason Linux is the default for the computers most people use.
