With this meme, obviously
Still on W10 with 7 year old hardware. When it finally croaks, I will not be replacing the OS. MS once said W10 would be their ‘final’ OS and by Jove, I will make it so in my household.
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
i hear linux mint feels a lot like 7/10 wink wink
9/10 with rice
and 10/10 with Proton and DXVK
To be fair though, for my ancient 2012 MacBook Pro, Linux Mint has made it actually useable and useful around the house.
I have a c.2011 MBP… did everything work automagically upon installation? Like WiFi, graphics acceleration, trackpad, sleeping, etc
Well, it took a little tinkering but yeah.
For the WiFi, it doesn’t install the Broadcom drivers by default so once you install the os you have to keep the thumb drive that you installed from in, and go into the driver manager and it will detect your Broadcom and the driver will be selectable. Then your WiFi will work.
Trackpad: The cursor would randomly stop moving and you would have to pick up your finger and set it back down again to get it to start moving again. Annoying. I found that installing Synaptics solves that. Trackpad works great now.
I don’t know how to test graphics acceleration. But videos play fine and retro games from NES to PlayStation work great. Haven’t tried PS2+ or Xbox yet but we’ll see.
Cool thank! I’ll have to try it out
If you have trouble, hit me up. I think I can help. Hopefully.
Hi. Linux user here. I think Windows Recall is bad. I think you should not use it. Thanks.
This was seriously the reason why I switched from a majority Windows user to a majority Linux user. From 2017-2023, Microsoft was doing the usual bad things, but they were not adding any new appalling crap and at least making some effort in improving things (W11 release nonwithstanding).
Use the title “I need help with Windows 11”.
Linux users will flood the comment section.
Install tinycore 😎
Mention systemd.
I can’t wait for kerneld, desktopd and shelld, so I can finally run a fully systemd system.

PSA: This is not a Linux community and I didnt want this post to actually start a discussion on Linux. It’s very meta that people do really come in here and talk about Linux instead of talking about the Fediverse.
You are beyond delusional if you think the Fediverse is not intrinsically related to Linux and pretty much all major FOSS schools of thought.
Woosh
Classic Redditor reply. Thank you, no thank you. 💀
