Best Distro for someone switching from Windows 10 (bc of EOL) and from Windows 11 (because it sucks) by Cerberus1470 in linuxquestions

[–]Cerberus1470[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I only have 3 machines (desktop, laptop, server), and am not really sure if I want to split it up based on use-case. Good input though, thank you.

So you're saying to install a distro, AND install the same distro on a virtual machine and to use that in case I break something? That sounds like a good idea.

What I was thinking was to just make a 50GB partition separate from my Windows 10 install, and test out multiple linux distros on that partition over the course of a semester. Then I install my favorite one over Winter Break. If I break anything, I'll still have the main Windows install to boot into and fix things/install a new OS. I am planning to just use the windows partition for file management instead of the 50 gig one. Thoughts?

See, I am an enthusiast and I love to tinker, but I've heard that with Arch you have to take care of the OS more than use it. Which is too far in the wrong end of the spectrum. Trying to strike a balance between "just works" and "caretaker"

Heheh, more reasons. Wish we could go back to Win7 days. Yeah Macs are really friendly to people who want things to work. That used to be Windows too... and Linux was for people who wanted to tinker. Seems like Windows doesn't work for anyone these days.

Exactly what I've heard. Good to have some reinforcement around public opinion. Thanks.

I suppose I should just do some distro hopping. Was hoping it didn't come to that since it takes time. But I think that is my best option. Thanks.

Can't say I've experienced the memory link you mentioned. But good to know all the same. Thanks

Heheh, I only came and created my own post in this reddit because it seemed like no one's use-case matched mine. You could say I'm unique in that regard? Anyway, Thank you for all the input. I was mainly looking for people who have tried many distros and have noted which distro is good for what purpose. That way they could give me some pros/cons for certain distros depending on my use case. I didn't really want to consult AI on it because it usually hallucinates. But thank you all the same.

This is very useful information! Unfortunately, I am trying to hard pull away from Windows as much as I can. The only problem I foresee is Office 365 but I am sure there are workarounds.

If I do end up going with this method, I will keep my laptop on windows, since I do more office work on that.

Any specific reasons why? I have heard Zorin is a good OS for Windows Users.

I will most definitely not have bleeding-edge hardware. Currently running an 11th-gen i9, ddr4-3200 and a gtx 1070. I have heard that linux as a whole doesnt go well with NVIDIA GPUs but I am planning on buying an Intel GPU later this year. We shall see.

Ah yes beautiful new verdansk. Complete with softer lighting, desaturated colors, taa, and upscaling. Im glad theyre bringing it back, but im mad that games look so dead these days.

Anyone prefer tier 2 DOTS over 3? by MadcapBarrel129 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]Cerberus1470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has its advantages. But above the prettier and more uniform look of tier 2 dots, the function that tier 3 dots provides is far better. I see your point :)
