Sorry, I'm not a native speaker, and also it's partly beacuse of me fat fingering my phone's keyboard
It's all right I was just poking some friendly fun
Beacuse me?
I started using Linux because of my low spec computer. Now I won't go back to windows
does it have WiFi? My mom's toaster has wifi.
I'm not a teapot.
Does your mom has a WIFI?
no it doesn't (and I'm more happy that it doesn't, it would be slow as shit anyway)
Yeah. The thing freaks me out. Pretty sure it voted in the midterm
Was the latter, used Linux because my computer sucked. So it was for some four years.
Once I got a real computer... Going back to Windows hurt. But I stuck to it because gaming.
As soon as Proton/DXVK started maturing, I knew I'd go full Linux forever.
As soon as Proton/DXVK started maturing
Wdym? Both are pretty mature imo
They "started maturing" like quite a few years ago, so yeah.
Remember guys. It's not your PC that's sluggish, it's Windows that is.
Every Windows release gets more and more sluggish, that's why minimum system requirements keep going up. While Linux minimum system requirements stays about the same.

My current desktop outperforms many windows machines and has been doing so for nearly ten years because Linux.
For current standards it's borderline a potatoe. And the damn thing won't call it quits.
Friendly reminder that Debian still has an i686 build that in theory supports processors as old as the Pentium 4, and they only dropped their i586 build (that went back to the original Pentium) this year.
Debian sometimes feels like the system that will run on a salad bowl powered by two potatoes and a pickled cucumber.
The range of architectures it supports is mindboggling.
It's definitely awesome.
Interestingly/amazingly, it doesn't support all the architectures that the kernel supports. The kernel still supports 486 processors, although modern Linux on a 486 would actually be extremely slow since all the modern CPU capabilities/extensions are missing. There was talk about removing 486 support last year (increasing the minimum CPU for the Linux kernel up to the Pentium 1) but I don't think that's actually gone anywhere yet.
Jessie was the last Debian release which supported i586, the support was dropped in 2016. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/05/msg00001.html
Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the correction :)
I started partially because of the second, now I'd never go back.
(The main reason was Windows update that made me lose a full month of work.)
I use Linux because windows legitimately giving me anxiety about having to use my computer for anything.
Well, it's not like I want to (although I do), it's just that customizing whatever else is there on the market to my liking is either impossible or requires more time that I care to spend.
Also, depends on devices. Not like I could install something else on a smartwatch with half a gig of ram, for example :)
Yeah, I have my Lxqt desktop customised a bit like different icons and fonts, although I'd like to more (the pc having 3gb of ram is a serious limit).
Specifically beacuse I want to have different layout compared to windows beacuse it's a bit (well probably more than that) bad, especially the windows 11 one, I got to try that one out at my school).
When I get a new computer I definitely want to try and install a different distro to try out the customisation.
Right... The only reason you use faster more secure software is...you have to?
Well, I kinda dig this, I'm using lubuntu and it's certainly better in some ways than windows, and I couldn't play games on this thing anyway so it's not like I'm loosing functionality, when I get a new pc I'll certainly install some different distro and try it out
Gotcha.
I just installed lubuntu on an old laptop this weekend actually. It ran like a top but for me that desktop environment is clunky so I ended up using Fedora on that machine and so far it is working well. That machine has only a 32 gb HD.. so my options were limited.
I like gnome a lot personally, and one distro I've had a lot of luck with that comes with gnome by default is pop_os, so I would recommend that when you upgrade! Just as a generally well configured (and still lightweight when compared to windows) distro. Just about anything that supports Ubuntu runs on it without much if any fuss too
