What if I did told you that you didn’t have to deal with MS bullshit at all?

every few months more Linux enjoyers are minted.

They all deny deny deny until microshit done something that triggered them, next thing you know they are posting about which distro is good for their use cases.

it is a rather slow process, but we are going the right way.

How Mega are IBM (Red Hat) and Canonical (Ubuntu) these days?

That was my point - there's commercial support for those who require it and community distros for those who don't. Personally my daily driver is Arch with a Cinnamon desktop.

ByteOnBikes ,

There has to be a windows-looking flavor of Linux, right?

I know ElementaryOS looks like Mac.

Linux Mint is what you’re looking for.

Or you are free to install the Cinnamon desktop on any other distro.

yoshisaur ,

henfredemars ,

It’s Mint for real. Mature, no-nonsense, get out of your way so you can get shit done on your terms OS.

I prefer mine to not look like Windows.

dalakkin ,

Zorin OS is going for the Windows look

aggelalex ,

Zorin. But, tbh, imitators won’t offer the most streamlined, seamless experience out there nowadays. If you like the most authentic Linux experience while staying on the user friendly side I’d say go with Gnome. There’s KDE too, for an experience like older windows (eg. Win 7) and that’s pretty authentic as well, just not my cup of tea. Try them out and decide for yourself!

catloaf ,

I’d ask how you suddenly converted the majority of workplace PCs and software to run on something other than Windows.

Zwiebel ,

Done. It’s all in the browser already.

Considering how much worse Windows seems to get with each update and new version, Microsoft will soon be developing methods of invisibly install Windows updates to force them through.

I look forward to a future where the battle between Microsoft and malware brings Windows computers to a standstill in an endless loop of invisibly installing and removing updates.

At what point does Microsoft Windows become illegal to install on your computer?

The register simply says “nothing to see here” 😂
