Actually more like a self fulfilling prophesy
IMO many will leave Linux just before finding the fix!
I had tried dual boot but kept going back to windows because i knew how to do things there without having to mess with anything
Its only after i removed windows altogether and only ran Mint, that i was forced to seriously look for solutions. Once you do find them though, you dont need to mess around with anything that much any more

It wasn’t until windows shat itself and I couldn’t boot into it anymore that I took my Linux drive more seriously.
A suggestion for everyone that's kinda new, and to be honest, grizzled vets too... Use chatgpt as a trouble shooting tool. It's really surprising how good it is sometimes. I've had it write bash scripts in minutes, solve obscure Firefox issues, fix game settings for barely compatible games... So many things
I mean, if you duel boot, it's just a matter of time until Windows nukes your other OS. At least with me, my Linux was about to solve world peace, but Windows got wind of that and shut it the fuck down.
Meme is correct, they're coming for you.
Windows basically never nukes the actual linux install. It DOES like breaking the bootloader though. Which is fixable but still deeply annoying.
Ah damn this is exactly what happened a few days ago. My popos boot entry suddenly disappeared. I can still just boot from the physical ssd it's installed on, but I found it strange it just pooped out somehow. Any pointers on how to fix it?
Reminded me how Windows would set the hardware clock to different timezone that Linux uses, can't remember which.
It would make my blood boil, that's when I decided to never boot it again. 100% Linux everywhere, I get it on routers when I can.
I almost wanted to correct you and say its dual not duel, but when I think about it windows will fight to be the only bootloader right when you think its finally behaving.
Wanted to say the same: the typo made the comment better. There has to be a community for this.
Pretty sure that 90% of Linux users don't switch to Windows.
I thought it meant 90% of the ones switching to windows
That's what I had in mind
I still boot to windows every now and then to play games. But each time windows painfully reminds me why I hate it
I have never liked Windows. Unix workstations or linux pretty much since the mid 80's. My current pet peeve is companies that block email clients except Outlook from connecting to their mail server (Exchange).
If you really want to run Linux : Distro hop
If you are not happy, then try a few more distros.
This is true, I wanted to play a game and it looked broken in Linux. When I went back to Windows I discovered that it was a problem with the game. Then I went back to Linux and it ran better than it did in Windows.
Typical Ubisoft experience.
Lol, putting the worst documented distro on the planet on the table is interesting. The majority of people new to linux would switch back to windows within minutes if they had to install and use nixOS.
NixOS isn't bad but your right it could be explained better.
In terms of stability and packages, it's an amazing OS. Gone are the days of being afraid that of updates or system upgrades that might leave your system borked. Unless you're experimenting with filesystems and boot parameters, it's not straightforward to fuck things up.
On the flipside, by Linus is it difficult to get things working as a beginner. Good luck packaging new stuff, good luck creating new options, good luck cross-compiling, good luck configuring stuff with hardcoded config paths in /var/
or whatever, actually good luck understanding how to configure existing packages, good luck getting any kind of PR merged without the say-so of a chosen few, good luck changing anything in the community without getting past the gatekeepers, and have fun understanding why some random package is being installed and/or compiled when you switch to a new configuration.
ill never get sick of this meme format lol so funny
Ok so I am probably gonna curse in the Linux church but please enlighten me
I have one laptop with windows 10 for the simple stuff: internet, movie, ms office. It functions perfectly. Yes it needs a reboot sometimes. I don't understand what people are saying about how terrible ms in regard for easy users.
I mean I get it that it probably using my data, which would be actually enough to change.
However: all these post about how easy it is to fix stuff in Linux (and thus saying it is not working properly)... Keeps me in ms.
What are you guys doing that needs so much tinkering that needs to be fixed constantly?
In windows you can't fix it. You leave it there. In linux you can fix, you may try to fix it.
Also the real issue to fix must be at install time for drivers. You wouldn't face that in windows since the devices are preinstalled and configured by manufacturer. If something doesn't work on windows it would be called manufacturer's fault and not windows' fault, so manufacturers make sure its working correctly
Have you been on a microsoft forum with people talking about windows? I bet you most people will be looking for help.
Every child should be introduced to linux. Will help them understand better they don't need to be treated as products and certainly make them more computer literate, and hopefully more security conscious.
But to be honest, not every child is technologically-inclined. Most are just gonna get annoyed and hate it. This is not a good idea.
I'd have loved it as a child though
I am never going to install linux on my gaming pc. It is too much work if you are into multiplayer/live service games. Windows just works if you uninstall all the ms crap.
Windows just works if you uninstall all the ms crap.
That would leave you without an operating system tho.
you dropped this "/s" somewhere along the line
Windows just works if you uninstall all the ms crap.
Does Windows count as "ms crap" ?
I don't have problems in linux
I am the problem in linux
Linux pros: You have control over everything Linux cons: You have control over everything
That's why immutable distros will bring more Linux users in the future.
