Me too, but he covered the wrong guy's face.
The guy on the right makes these update posts about his friendships.
Lol oops
yesss join us
Nice! I switched my desktop from win11 to popos this weekend. So far so good, but all I've done is play some games (guild wars 2, binding of Isaac) and some quick tests (camera, HDMI to the TV, music)
I'm a fellow pop user myself, and enjoying it. It's my first Linux distro. I'm excited to try their new version when it's ready. I've been thinking about switching and trying it out in beta cause I've heard good things already.
https://github.com/orgs/pop-os/projects/23/views/1 still in Alpha 7. When it hits beta, I'm going to jump over as well.
Thanks for the correction. I hadn't checked in a while.
Is it actually in beta? Last I tried it was in alpha 7
Still Alpha 7. https://github.com/orgs/pop-os/projects/23/views/1 When CosmicDE hits Beta, I'm going to jump as well.
Same. I used it in alpha7 on fedora. But it keeps locking up, and the power management dosent work right. Still , its super cool and I'm excited for it to get finished
I'm finally back on Linux after a while away. I went with pop os just to have the Nvidia drivers pre-installed. I used Mint back in grad school and liked it.
Upgraded my father-in-law from Windows 10 to Linux Mint last week. I use Arch btw on all my stuff, but that's no beginner's distro. He's very pleased - basically used it for browsing and some light office work, has hardly noticed the difference. One more person off Windows forever.
I wouldn't say I was friends with Windows. It's more like escaping an abusive relationship IMO.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US
You're gonna love it! What distro did you go with?
Went with Mint. Seemed user friendly for someone new and is great so far.
Nice! That was how I started out too.
Yes the Mint trial version is free for 3 months, then you have to create a Linux account and signup on their website to purchase activation key for the full upgrade to unlock changing themes and recieving updates unless you're okay with occasional popup reminders every 2-minutes that your Linux copy has not been activated. /s lol
Holy fuck. I am someone with Win 10 and was thinking about trying Linux Mint and then your post made me say WTF, should I investigate something else?
Iβm glad the /s was added because it seemed wrong, but then I was second guessing. Absolutely hilarious though! Got me to laugh after.
There's a package called activate-linux that puts the activation warning overlay on the screen in case you ever feel homesick.
...and there's Ubuntu advertising its pro subscription in the terminal.
That's too fuckin funny
π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£ I laughed way too hard at this β οΈ
Just so you know, the Arch free trial is 6 months
I hear you can extend the free trial by telling random people you use Arch. Just what I've heard. Linux Mint started the same program from what I gather.
That explains sooooooooooooooooo much
Because that is the maximum time an average Linux user can stand without trying out a new Distro.
Actually for many people rolling release is a cure for that issue because it's the extensive version upgrades (that also like to fail) which often gets people to the point of reinstalling then trying another distro while being at it.
I'm using the same arch install on my home server for 10 years now.

Had me in the first half...
Now set up a virtual machine and install Arch on it.
If you want to really learn Linux, that is. After that, you might just settle for pure Debian.
Yeah I started with mint a few years back, expecting to distro-hop.... I'm still on mint.
I've been gaming on windows and had my laptop running linux for 3 years now but I've recently moved my PC to the TV for a more console-like experience. I realized that I almost exclusively play games with a controller anyway.
To that end I switched to Bazzite. Has been working pretty much flawlessly! Even with an Nvidia GPU.
This is the way!
I professionally maintain Linux kernel and custom drivers for embedded applications. I fell in love with Aurora on my first run and chosen Bazzite for my brand new Nvidia gaming PC. This will also be my office/web browsing/dev machine when not gaming.
Why? I am tired of managing / sysadmining Linux OS and donβt want to bring the job to my free time (although it looks like my MoBo could use a kernel patch for supporting fan speeds controller hee hee). Bazzite and siblings are the first distros I stumbled upon that flawlessly supported GSync and nvidia graphics out of the box without changing a single option. The defaults are sane, customization is easy. The whole general idea around how these distros are redesigned solve many many pain points that many uses are yet to experience with standard / "legacy" ones. I am more hyped about them than I was when I first discovered NixOS.
Atomic distros like this IMHO should be the default choice now for new Linux gamers. Period.
Tbh as an end user Bazzite was so nice and easy to install, especially since the website makes you configure the iso for what you're gonna use it on. It was a very no-bullshit way of getting linux on a PC.
Exactly! They even took care to provide you with convenience scripts for further setup with very detailed description right after you open the terminal.
Enabling TPM based disk decryption, secureboot, upgrading everything etc etc is waiting for you just one command away starting with ujust
Switched to Bazzite last weekend. Fantastic distro.
Fool, you fell for our linux propaganda! I condemn thee to suffer distro hopping for 3 years after which you will settle on one distro of your choosing. IΓ€! Shub-Niggurath!
Don't listen to the demons! Just install Mint and be done!
I did choose Mint! Ha.
that is how I started 6 months ago, but then I noticed how awfully outdated all the packages are. As I wanted to use it for gaming I'd lije to have the latest drivers and latest Steam, and a modern wayland window manager etc. which is why I am now on Fedora and am very happy so far. Good luck on your journey.
