I switched from windows 7 to Ubuntu and never looked back. Bizarrely I find desktop Linux to be closer to the (very good) windows 7 experience than modern windows is. I detest the nagginess and ads in windows now. Not to mention trying to force Microsoft accounts to use your own damn computer. Meanwhile Apple is slightly better but wants to wall the garden on Mac, scaring people away from using software that apple didn’t approve.
- eloisant 2y agoJust curious, which desktop are you using on Linux?
- CalRobert 2y agoGnome. It’s fine. It’s not fancy. I’m happy enough with it. It’s less true now but for a long time installing stock Ubuntu was the lowest hassle way to get a Linux desktop that pretty much worked with everything. They flirted with Amazon ads for a while which I didn’t like. Not crazy about snaps either. But it’s fine and I get my stuff done. I also just buy boring hardware known to work. First an xps 13 (remember project Apollo?) then a framework.
