Yeah. This is better.
Out of curiosity, why does everyone always go for Ubuntu in posts like this? I've always hated that distro; all my machines run Fedora instead. IMO Fedora with KDE is way better than Ubuntu with Gnome in terms of usability for people switching over from Windows, but maybe I'm just biased since I'm already super familiar with Linux
I'm also a Fedora KDE user and I agree with you. The only real gripe I have with it is that if you don't know about the full version of RPM Fusion, you'll get frustrated that certain things are missing or don't work right, and the GUI button to enable third-party repos after installation isn't enough. I personally just skip that button and enable the full version following the directions on their site and then use Discover to enable Flathub.
I run Zorin OS 18 on my desktop. I just commented Ubuntu since more people would understand the comments.
Also, for Surface tablets, I believe Ubuntu is the best option for touchscreen support.
Fair enough, thanks for responding
It took me way more than a decade of using Ubuntu before I got to a point of preferring Fedora, in spite of frequent distro hopping in periods when I was bored.
I think Fedora has gotten better in the last few years, but for me it also feels a bit more cold and unwelcoming maybe? Dunno, but I was always happy with Ubuntu until some really obscure dependencies got into conflict and I had to change things up. Canonical might not be the absolute best, but neither are Red Hat.
