I’ve seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They’re Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I’ve had more success here.

Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

EDIT: If you’re hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you’ll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

not if they’re playing bedrock harcore [sic] mode and die flying around or whatever

I’d recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.

i appreciate your effort and not just adding the entire Grimes album

You have to wonder if these “leaders” of big companies have families or hobbies or like doing literally anything normal.

Being addicted to working and hoarding money beyond reason is an addiction at the end of the day and it has wide reaching impact. They need to get serious help.

Good catch. I got excited seeing this, but I can’t say I’m 250 USD excited. Maybe if I had more time to read.

If Gartner comes out with a decent AI model, you could replace over half of your CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, etc. Most of them lack any real leadership qualities and simply parrot what they’re told/what they’ve read. They’re their through nepotism.

Also, most of them use AI as a crutch, so that’s all they know. Meanwhile, the rest of us use it as a tool (what it’s meant to be).

I agree. I had to explain to a younger family member today that when I say “open notepad”, I meant the application that’s been on every Windows version since they were born, not to Google “notepad”

Gave me a crisis that people know so little of what would have been considered basic computer usage a while back.

what game is this? I love Lego games

Google owns YouTube

is this the reason Bleeping Computer made that article about malicious KDE themes? i saw it in my feed but didn’t think much of it

Same here. I knew there was a reason this shirt called to me this morning

The headline sounded good but the article lists a lot of negatives too. They’re removing discounts for veterans/first responders, they recently laid off 10% of staff, and their price now matches Amazon and Apple. So don’t mistake this for good intention; this is just a business’ survival instincts taking over.

same here. or at least i finally recognized their potential. but it’s not just the performance, it’s the power efficiency too!

can we meet?

my apologies. i meant “iPad kid” as in the Internet stereotype where the kid essentially throws a tantrum if they can’t watch their skibidi toilet. and their parents don’t take initiative to engage the child in something more beneficial

if the child uses an iPad to look at art, that’s a great use of the tool and i fully support it

hopefully that clears up what i meant :)

maybe, but i feel like while it may correlate, it’s not the cause. the cause is more likely that if a parent cares enough to show their child art, they’re probably more nurturing and prioritize academia more than parents who raise an iPad kid

can i get the meme template?

i recently bought persona 3, 4, and 5. i started with 4 but i haven’t had any issues with the story. so i assume you can play them in any order? 4 is very fun though

thank you! i remember having to learn that for the Microsoft propaganda known as AZ900, but I pushed that all out as soon as i learned i didn’t need to do it anymore
