Microsoft needs to double down on its ubiquitous AI initiative so that more users can discover the joy of Linux.

  As someone that uses Linux distros since 1995, I have had lots of joy getting it to work on various kinds of hardware, during weekends and long nights.

    Ah the good old days. Investing an entire weekend to make your pci soundblaster card work. Nowadays you just install an iso from a thumb drive, it takes 30 mins and everything works out of the box. So boring!

      Pity that I am yet to have that boring experience on laptops, even if sold with Linux pre-installed, the fun continues.

      Is there a consensus on the best ‘boring’ distro nowadays? It’s been ~15 years since I last installed linux (Linux Mint on a netbook that couldn’t run the pre-installed Win7), and am now curious about repurposing a gaming PC for software development.

        Fedora, maybe?
