Although I agree in spirit, there is a bloatfree version of windows 11 called LTSC.
Makes me one happy windows user.
Recently I have problem with high you and cpu usage, mainly GPU(GeForce 1060). Trying to troubleshoot it and updating drivers but so far it's still doing it with game that shouldn't be that demanding (timber born). So I'm debating switching completely to Linux already have Linux mint on second drive but remember having problems with the GPU drivers too. So while I like the simplicity and not bloated os not sure I want to troubleshoot other stuff and learning new os and using command line. I'm still very much noob with Linux so just want to ideally set it and for it just work and occasionally update without stuff breaking. -just a bit of rant about deciding, sorry if it doesn't belong here.
There is Bazzite which is setup for gaming, and has ISOs specific to hardware type
There's no beginner friendly Linux OS, but.......if you willing to learn a thing or two about linux (at least know how to install programs, updating system, & install your favorite Windows program on wine bc you can't find equivalent linux program) i think you'll loved Linux so much because it's so flexible.
If you encounter errors, don't worry, there's answer how to fix it, all you need is Google/DuckDuckGo
Ubuntu is absolutely a beginner friendly OS. If I give a computer to somebody that knows nothing more than how to turn it on, Ubuntu will be no more difficult for that person to surf the internet than it would be in Windows. I've been teaching people how to use their computers for more than half my life and the vast majority of problems are ignorant people on Windows. Linux isn't inherently more difficult to use, it's just different. For adept Windows users, switching and expecting to be just as familiar is where it gets more tricky.
Actually Windows is much more convenient to use, if you just log-in everywhere and use it as a "normal human". The thing is we don't like companies taking our lifes, we demand freedom, thats why windows is a hell for us, but for most its convenient.
I'd just rather use Windows and not have to deal with my games not being supported, explaining to people how to print a word document or have to mess with wifi drivers.
Unfortunately I have to do both ;n;
... or at least I will have to when I try to get my homemade game engine working on Windowsintoyourbrowsinghistory 11
Left thing is the right thing
Really?
Because nothing I use works in Linux or at least doesn't easily.
My 10 year old Logjtech mouse doesn't work, at all, until I Google how to make it work.
Then there's OneNote, which syncs directly with every machine, no server required.
Or excel - got Tables in Libre office yet? You know, what 97% of people use Excel for?
I could go on for days. At every turn, Linux is inferior to Windows as a desktop.
And I use Linux every day as a server: Truenas, Proxmox, Freedombox, Rpi, etc. It's briliant for purpose-built systems.
Hint: :q!
