Yeah, distro variety is a block for adoption, but when you do adopt Linux, you understand why they’re there.

Good thing community starts to center on a few distros for beginners, particularly Linux Mint + 1 or 2 more. (I’m a Manjaro adept, but ready to bury the hatchet to welcome newbies, and always do recommend Mint - it is good too)

Congrats! One more person opened their eyes to freedom!

When you come to Linux, you never want back.

I’ve been experiencing Windows’ degredation since 98/XP, it’s been an extremely smooth transition from Windows 10 to Linux Mint.

Still working out the kinks with my game library but apart from new user errors it’s worked flawlessly (unlike Win10).

Thank you Lemmings for showing me to the light!

Edit/TLDR: it’s kinda like windows, but functional and user control is king.

That’s the best TLDR you could give at the end.

Generally UI and feeling are “Windows, but without BS”

100% on the TLDR there, I’ll edit as such, that comment is open source ;)

I’ve been running Ubuntu on a separate machine for a little while now, and it works great, just not a good fit for me.

I’m happy to say within 2 weeks of my dual boot I’m already on mint 90% of the time. It just fucking works. (Without waking me up at 2-4am sending the fans to mach 7 for a damn windows update).

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.
Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
