2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    Perhaps because this is such a typical Linux-bro meme?

    By no means is it more user friendly. I drive it daily, my grandmother most definitely could not, they’re way too many times when something stops working or goes wrong with DEs.

      I also find those constant Linux comments annoying but one should really avoid using Windows 7. Win 7 has been out of support for a long time, either update to Win 10 (if possible), air gap it, install some other OS like Linux, or consider replacing the computer.

      Ya I’m a Linux system administrator and comments like that are beyond annoying. Linux is not user friendly lol

      Also my workstation is Windows 11, your tears fuel me

        Clearly you haven’t used desktop Linux for any period of time. Its not the same as a server and is pretty nice and friendly.

          I don’t have patience for issues on my workstation, I run fedora on my personal laptop

          I get why everyone hates windows but it literally just works

            I guess I’ve had the opposite experience. Maybe its just that I know how to fix Linux but not windows.
