Ditto; ~20 years of dotnet dev, 1000+ games on steam. Couldn't be more baked into the ecosystem. Its just the work laptop left with windows now, and the team is working to support a non-windows dev env.
- hkon 1y agoSame
- ActionHank 1y agoThis was me a few years back. My wife switched this year after only ever using Windows and pure dotnet dev. The first thing she said was "how is it so fast"
- beng-nl 1y agoWhich distribution is she using, out of curiosity? I wonder if I could do this for (to) my wife..
- gchamonlive 1y agoNot OP, but if I was installing Linux for the first time I'd either go with pop_os (not sure if it's as good anymore as last time I checked it, a couples years ago) or kubuntu, because KDE is a bit more familiar to windows users.
- brewdad 1y agoPop and Linux Mint are both solid options for newcomers. Personally, I think LM looks better out of the box but Pop is a little easier to grok coming from Windows. Not much of a difference either way though.
- gregoryl 1y agoTotally agree for non-technical users. For anyone technical, and willing to suffer a little bit, go with Arch. The docs are incredible, and you end up with a much better understanding of how everything hangs together.
- ActionHank 1y agoI helped her get started with endeavourOS. She has me for tech support though and she’s a dev which helps. I would go with popOS or Ubuntu if the tech support isn’t an option.
- mikrotikker 1y agoWife is not technical at all. Put her on Ubuntu when she freaked out about her windows 7 PC updating automatically to windows 10. She been on it ever since.
