perhaps it only ‘always’ seems to be that way because you haven’t yet done so…
complete the task so you can change tunes to…
“why tf didn’t i do this sooner?”
Yeah, for me, the big thing was that I only found out you could test-run Linux without installing after I had made the decision to install it. Of course, having no real clue what I’d get into massively delayed the decision…
I’ll do it. There’s no need to keep reminding me every few years.
I keep saying the same thing, lol. My latest distraction is the Talon Win11 debloat tool. (Also works, mostly, on Win10)
Number of ads my OS shows me: 0
Yes but you are missing all the hot singles, and only getting the neckbeard ones.
Amount of ads my operating system shows me: 1. I’ve got Ubuntu on an old laptop because I couldn’t get Debian to install and I didn’t know much about Mint at the time So I’ve seen a couple Ubuntu Pro popup ads.
The best time to move to linux was 10 years ago. The second best time is now.
I did both of those.
I would, but my crippling WinRAR addiction keeps me on WinXP
That’s because you have WinRAR sarcasm edition! A very good release!
Screw Linux desktop, let’s make this year The Year of FreeBSD Desktop.
You joke, but it’s not that bad at all.
Think they finally fixed wifi too.
I used FreeBSD desktop around 20 years ago. It was alright. It just took a lot of time setting everything up from source.
After you move to Linux, you end up continuing your journey to different Linux flavours
It’s the year of the Linux desktop after all, like every year.
Well, with general enshittification, Steam’s progress and W10 sunsetting maybe it will tick up the charts a bit more this year. I have laptops and home theater systems and have converted several in the last six months. Mostly Mint and EndeavorOS so far, but I’ll also load up Manjaro and Fedora on the last couple to see how I like them. Linux has come a long way.
I kind of did and it took a distro or two… But arch (EndeavourOS) is keeping me on track with all tasks I need to perform at work (one program is wine based, and office is dealt with just fine with libre - I’m a high school teacher by the way) and well … I used the command line to use ghostscript and OCR some documents. This was all right inside Linux by the way, no downloading extra packages. It worked goddamn fine.
It’s a pretty easy move, tbh. Start with a user-friendly distro and don’t look back. The only Windows install I have left is my work laptop and I absolutely hate it.
Not when you’re on Linux…
Each day it becomes easier and easier to use Linux (e.g. Linux Mint or ZorinOS) when compared to Windows.
Unironically: Every year is the year of the linux desktop.
I’ll have you know the last good version of windows was Windows RG.
Never forget.
2025 is the year of Linux on the desktop
