I'll definitely look it up. Thanks for the help!

That's the tool yes. I've followed a guide that should have also included optimization. One of the problems I encountered: it doesn't recognize the monitors properly which makes it a pain e.g. opening an email in a new window. Also lots of flickering and "wrong"colors (Outlook icon is turquoise for example). Nonetheless I would need a "full" Windows environment for the training sessions anyways (don't want to confuse the attendees more than necessary by showing them an unfamiliar OS)

Thanks for the extensive answer and the video. I'll put it to good use since I wanted to do a clean reinstall anyways.

Thanks that sounds promising

Any links to beginner friendly tutorials and guides will also be highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot! I'll take a look and learn something new

Do you have a guide you can recommend for Lemmy users who are not that aware of the settings mentioned in the second paragraph but would like to be?

Afaik steam is uses kde plasma, you should be able to customize it and probably use themes to get the Mac OS Look. Maybe start from there. Probably plenty of YouTube guides for that.

Hasn't been 12 years for me but it sure feels that long. I also pretty much inhaled both books.

Dorfromantik it's a sort of puzzle game that's deeply relaxing

If you also want some fantasy recommendations:

Malazan book of the fallen is one of my favorites

The King killer Chronicles if you can stand the long wait for book 3 to finally drop is also really awesome

Will it run on a 8t? Which instructions did you follow? I've one lying around and i'd love to test mobile Linux

I wonder how long it'll take Microsoft to completely ruin their reputation with companies again after they took so long to recover it.

I'd say: do recommend those windows like distro. Most people don't really care about their OS. In their eyes the best OS US one they don't have to think about/spend energy on. Hence the appeal of OS X for example. I think probably 80% of all users haven't even fully understood what Windows is nor do they care in the slightest. They want to be able to browse the web, maybe game some, and maybe watch streams. They'd gladly attach their phone to a screen if it was easier than working on a different device. Whoever is really interested in learning things about their OS or distro of choice will do so in their own time and switch to something different if the need arises and not to become part of some cult like defenders of their holy distro (which it often feels like as soon as someone asks for recommendations). I have only recently switched to Linux Mint and am totally happy with it. I don't feel like I absolutely have to try Arch for example. I got everything I need for now up and running and I have neither the time nor the need to learn anything else at the moment. Elitist posts like OPs are probably more effective in keeping people from trying Linux (that and the mass of names flying around for different parts, as well as the lack of beginner friendly documentation - although that has changed a lot since the last time I tested Linux a few years back)

And if I remember correctly that only was the name of one company's model of mobile phones but it stuck like e.g. Tempo for tissues in general.

Also the steam deck helped massively with game compatibility. The only game I had to tinker with (and didn't get to work) so far is a closed alpha. I still run a dual boot setup, but only use the Windows partition for work (office suite needed). Fmstrat/Winapps (found on GitHub) is a good enough way to use Office for smaller tasks so I don't always have to boot up the Windows partition.

Are you using Jack? You could try pipewire as an alternative, it helped me greatly in getting my rodecaster duo set up

I made the switch a few days ago. At the moment I'm running a dual boot setup as unfortunately I can't completely drop Windows for work sessions. I settled on Linux Mint as I couldn't get Nobara (a fedora fork or sth) to run stable.

I have no experience with Linux (except for owning a steam deck and using live CDs some years ago), so I was looking for sth simple and able to run games.

I've been doing more tweaking than I thought but that's mainly due to my hardware, e.g. getting the stream deck and the rodecaster to run. I've learned a bunch of stuff while tinkering with all of this and I can recommend Linux Mint due to its ease of use and very large community where someone probably had your exact problem before and even documented it in some way.

Can't say much about other distros but I don't think I'll switch to another any time soon.

knock knock

I think it was a problem with authorization. I was already logged in, butt wasn't verified, of that makes sense. Basically logging out and back in did the trick at some point (and a lot of help from the instance owner)
