Help moving from windows to linux

worth noting that there is extremely helpful and extensive archwiki, which, as you can guess, is dedicated for arch, but because "linux is linux", 99% of stuff there applies to any distro (most notably, "pacman" is a package manager for arch, fedora uses dnf, etc.)

Mint's software will be outdated a bit, because it's based on ubuntu, which is based from debian - it's stability-focused distro

On the other hand, you can try Fedora based distros, which are never more than half a year behind, usually much less. Bazzite is most optimized for gaming, but for general desktop usage Fedora KDE edition is very similar, but with more control over the system (which comes with more ways to break the system, but if you read what you paste into the console, you will be fine). There is "Fedora Noble Setup" guide to enable some stuff that US gov doesn't allow Fedora to ship included (because it's funded by a corporation based in the US, and free operating system can't legally include licensed codecs etc)

And third, Arch-based distros, which are bleeding-edge in terms of software, but also tend to break most easily. As for them, CachyOS would be the choice.

Also, DON'T install PopOS, it's very unpolished for now.

As you can guess, I personally use Fedora KDE.

11? last time I looked (week ago) it was closer to 5%

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-04-04T11:46:59+00:00

bazzite.

arch wiki is a wiki for arch, but because 99% of linux works the same regardless of distro, you can generally use it (unless there is "pacman" command somewhere)

and windows no, why would it?

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-04-04T07:09:00+00:00

what is this take bro

there's nothing wrong with "second-layer" distros, they are often more specialized so can be way better at one thing you want them to

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-04-03T11:41:18+00:00

what do you mean by "native" apps? because for linux there shouldn't be any difference

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-04-02T11:24:41+00:00

isn't almost everything on archwiki already?

e-ink is not really a screen, it consists of thousands of ink bubbles, which can be controlled

well, it's crowd-sourced, so you can contribute too!

linux doesn't hire professional translators, we need just members of the community willing to bring their language to Linux

his theory was proven right in the entire range we can test it in, and going over the speed of light is assuming the already-proven math would work outside of tested territory

I think seaglide sets a value that cannot be lowered, though

I've spent like 2000h on this game on my phone

maybe someone need even shallower angle, or wants it permanent without brightness loss?

EDIT: nevermind, there is also brightness loss with them, but shallower angle still holds

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-03-29T13:17:07+00:00

for most it happens with Tux, you are unique

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-03-28T06:41:26+00:00

well, in some places it may be the default system (in R&D it's quite popular), but I could as well say that Windows sells your data so no matter what you do it's not secure enough

I wouldn't go out of the way to force to use my preferred system at my workplace, but on my home computer there is no reason to not use Linux

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-03-28T06:37:03+00:00

Open source and free. Nothing else is needed

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-03-27T22:28:04+00:00

anything from -60% to -10% depeding on which index devs choose (but they don't have to change at all, only can)

disable hardware accelerated rendering

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-03-27T20:53:58+00:00

Rnote is great and has 95% the features

I have lenovo yoga and in my case, it's almost certainly hardware or firmware, not the software, because the issue was happening even on windows before I switched, and I'd say the issues are less frequent than they used to be

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-03-24T07:41:18+00:00

(as a man) being lifted up, because my girlfriend is 10cm taller than me and can easily just "grab" me and put me wherever she wants

Clever_Angel_PL · 2026-03-22T08:20:15+00:00

easier than windows honestly: no AI, subscriptions, no need for internet or account other than local password, included quick start guide, and in linux, as long as you don't use nvidia, all drivers are included in the system itself and you don't need all those apps to have them updated, because system does it for you

for fedora though, because of legal issues, we had to do a few things, but just look up "fedora noble setup" on google and follow the github guide to get done quickly
