“But can Linux install things via a single .exe file? HAHAH EAT IT NERD!”
- 10’ish years ago past me, before discovering the magical wonders of the package manager
I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.
I think it’s still important to explain the key difference between an “app store” and a package repository: the latter isn’t a “store” because everything is free.
True but it helps get the concept across so much.
With app images it’s easier than installing. Although the chmod step will deter the typical windows user
Windows 11 takes your money, gives you ads, sells your information and ignores your bug reports and feature requests
KDE is free, ad-free and open to contribution
I think we have a clear winner here
And then I have to install a windows vm to be able to play all my games properly. And the practical benefit of switching is basically zero for the normal user
In a VM you can not really use your GPU so that’s not the way to go about it. So no, you seem uninformed
Okay then please give me a rundown of benefits I will get if I switch to linux. And how I will be able to play all my games without issues. And maybe i will think about switching. But as of now, i have to find even a single benefit i care about
You never heard of wine? or proton (THAT STEAM MADE especially for their linux handheld device )?
I know many people here dont like to hear it but: I really dont care about linux. Never used it (except for school projects and once when i tried some stuff on a raspberry pi)
Because I need Windows to run old C&C games. Get Generals world builder working on Linux and I’ll delete my dual boot
To be fair, forcing a bunch of software on the machine users own was never a good move, and in my opinion, not a new normal.
It was a good move when people had no idea what they were doing and needed defaults to get started.
Do Android next!
Try LineageOS
I’d prefer a solution out of the box. I am well aware of alternative OSes.

Just skimming through the website, I noticed they use their own Drive solution. Quickly glancing at the images, and it seemed oddly familiar.
And holy shit it they use the exact same setup I set up at work - NextCloud with OnlyOffice integration.
This seems nice.
Microsoft will probably never truly catch up with KDE
Plasma 6 is approaching fast
