Switching to Linux hot take:

Recovering windows users shouldn't switch to a "windows-like" DE. Give them something totally alien like GNOME or Budgie. Likewise, we should recommend ex Mac users KDE or Cinnamon.

Reason: Linux is not the same as those OSes. Its imitations of their interfaces are incomplete, so it will feel like a knockoff.

A new GUI paradigm sets Linux apart in the mind and encourages learning. Then once the user is proficient in customizing their desktop, they can bring back the features they valued in those systems.

Posting this again because queueing it broke, hoping this doesn't post again later. But I finally drew something! This was a test to help figure out my new graphics tablet and drawing program. Hoping I get more ideas soon

Yeah the workaround for that is

REINSTALL FROM THE GROUND UP AND NEVER ADD ANY KDE SOFTWARE EVER

Did a little overhaul of the Librarian (guess what sticker is at the front). I bought this laptop about 8 years ago to use at work, but it's been in a closet somewhere since I stopped teaching. I put Linux Mint on it a few years back as a test, when I was considering switching onto my main, and that worked rather well, but I also kept Windows back then. But since the Word licenses have stopped, well, time to yeet Windows off wholesale.

I started off fresh with Linux Lite, and will basically be using this one for

a) when I need something hyper portable not for work (because I did get a work laptop now), which will probably be D&D,

b) a little child proof media library through kodi. I've tried this before on a raspberry pi but this works better. No more hassle trying to get the media on there.

people will spend months in a sandbox game like minecraft/factorio/satisfactory perfecting a base or a build idea. i'll spend months perfecting a diy linux install and wineprefixes to *run* sandbox games. or any game tbh

My chromebook is slowly degrading. Incredible really. One would think it would still be fine even if the last update it got was the final one the device would get because blah blah blah planned obsolescence. Really makes the conspiracy theory believable that the last update a discontinued device purposely makes it worse to encourage the user to buy a new one. Thankfully, i got a new laptop ages ago, and just keep the chromebook around for torrenting and sometimes watching movies.
