What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

  • oh man, warcraft 3 was my game when I was trying to install linux the first time, I didn't know enough at that point to get it working lol. I tried though, my mom told me about wine and I tried that and blitzkreig.

  • It really did. Even 5 years ago it was much less easily usable.

  • well I'm glad some people still try. either way, I just discovered this kid mods this community, so i'm out. I didn't leave reddit to go to another politics community run by people who support traitors.

  • Yeah I don't engage with those people if I can help it. Ostracisation is the answer.

  • I was going to give you a real answer but I took a little trip through your history and I think I understand what you're saying now, this conversation is over.

  • Wow, you're actually insane.

    Edit: also it sounds to me like you straight up don't understand the point of education.

    • Windows not booting directly after Dual boot is set up

  • Honestly if it doesn't work right through the bios but does grub, good. Windows likes to try and take over your computer sometimes when you turn it on.

    I simplified it for you.

    • What is your favorite open source software?

  • You don't have to use an SD card for the storage lol, you can connect hard drives to a pi.

  • Oh wow, you don't see too many people who's first experience with a computer was with Linux. Was windows challenging to use at first?

  • If you get a nice dock the steam deck works pretty well as a desktop so you'll have no problems there.

  • Sounds like what I did when I got back into Linux after years lol. Didn't want one of the easy ones because I wanted to actually learn how to use Linux so I spent all night installing arch. Maybe the next day it wasn't, but it's one of the best computing decisions I've ever made. Really forced me to get comfortable using a command line since dos was before my time.

  • I will admit I sometimes think I want to boot up windows and play some vr games, but I'm at the point now where I used to be with windows where I don't really want to spend all that time rebooting lol.

  • I want to try gentoo someday but there's no way I'd want it on my main machine, you are for sure dedicated. I think I might try out debian sometime though, maybe on one of my servers since they're all running Ubuntu right now.

  • 11 releasing was the catalyst for me just straight up not using my Windows drive anymore, I installed it to my Thinkpad (it's still there, next to arch) to check it out and holy shit was it bad. Before then I'd boot in to play games with anticheat that didn't work on Linux. Nowadays if I can't play it on Linux I just don't. Want my money? At the very least support proton. Don't? Ok I'll keep my money.

  • The first thing I tried wax knoppix but the disk my mom burned for me didn't work, I didn't wind up actually getting to use knoppix until high school and then I found DSL was better for my needs at the time.

  • "what was your first Linux experience" is quite different than "why did you switch."

    My first Linux experience was with fedora core 4 in 2005 or 6. I switched to Linux in 2019 or so because Microsoft turned windows into full on spyware and my games finally mostly all worked on Linux. Very different answers.
