Linux in a nutshell: Just awful in a laptop, meh in a desktop, and first-class as a server.
- bittercynic 2y agoMy main computer is a linux laptop, and I've been pretty happy with it for many years. There are inconveniences, but I prefer these inconveniences to the ones I'd have with Windows, Mac, or ChromeOS.
- ranger207 2y agoDepends on your measure of inconvenience. My laptop's been running Linux for the past 3.5 years, but it's a Framework which is relatively well supported by Linux. I've heard horror stores about in particular laptops with both Intel integrated graphics and a discrete Nvidia graphics card. On the other hand, my company gave me a Dell with Windows 11, and every once in a while the "Intel® Smart Sound Technology for MIPI SoundWire® Audio" speakers and microphone occasionally just disappears from the system and so I have to restart which takes about 10 minutes each time. Overall though when Linux breaks I can fix it, or I can change out parts I don't like. That's better for me than, eg, Windows's Start Menu search searching on the internet and being unable to change that
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoW.r.t. Windows start menu web search, I highly recommend O&O ShutUp10 to disable that and other annoyances. And it's customizable, so you can use it to just disable what you want.
