All sudden, Windows is imploding. This 2026 doesn't seem so bad at least! 😆 If you need to switch, Mint KDE could be a good starting point for a linux distro easy to use.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8WEzjDx4-E#windows #linux #computers

@GlitchGhost I'm fixed with Debian + XFCE from two decades nowdays, the setup I found more nimble. Here and there I try some other distro but I feel Debian is still the one overall I like more as setup.I tried Freebsd but I had issues to make it run on my past machines. It has less support for some hardware than Linux.

@iswyrm hey it doesn't matter what distro you use, at the end of the day we're all on Linux trying to get away from the crap microslop is doing

@GlitchGhost For saying, that Linux was mature for desktop already for years. Proton/Wine support for games grew really quickly in a decade, and I think I ditched dual boot at the time when Vista was around (so really a lot of years ago...). The inconveniences are a matter of corner cases from a lot of times, and sometimes you met them again (not different if you adopted MacOs anyway).

@iswyrm hey congrats on being on linux for so long, i wish i had gotten on sooner but better late then never as they say, i dont consider myself a power user but im pretty happy with mint, i did try fedora kde sometime back but i was too comfy on mint so i went back to mint. im not really into distro hopping and the only time i might change is if mint goes downhill but i dont see that happening and if it does i know there are other options out there which is great to see

@GlitchGhost Like Mint without the utilities. You can begin to install only the core (base system without X and GUIs) and then add later what you like/need and leave the rest. I use some different programs and utilities than those on Mint, so is quicker for me start from base and add what I use leaving out other things I don't.It is also has a lot less stuff to install, and is faster, thought you felt this more in past than today.
