Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.

I recently moved my media PC to Linux Mint. I had Bluetooth issues with windows despite my hardware not that old and 'Windows 11 ready'. Zero problems on Linux. I play the same games thanks to Steam Proton library. I use Mac for work. So I finally did it. No more Windows. I tried to switch 5 years ago. But today Linux is polished. And mostly works as expected. You still need to open terminal a few times to change some settings. I'm happy. Highly recommended.

Yeah in college I tried to switch for nerd cred and it sucked, but over the past year I switched and while I’ve had some hiccups, I honestly think it’s more a result of me going with an arch based distro than a Debian one. I’m thinking I may hop soon, but I assume it’ll be a massive pain

I thought Arch was more tricky, than Debian

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is, it’s trickier and less supported

My friend, have you checked out the arch user repository? What do you mean with less supported btw?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Less officially supported. Say what you will about the chaotic aur it is chaotic. I think I bit off a bit more than I can chew
