F*ck Windows: move to Fedora or Ubuntu (lemmy.world)

Today, lovely Windows 11 installed an update. And since then I don't have internet access because Microslop Wincrap 11 can somehow magically no longer connect to the DNS server - to any DNS server. No other device in my network has the same issue. I've been bugfixing for over an hour and haven't found a solution. setting the DNS manually, resetting the network adapter, flushed all DNS entries (I used the commandline tool on Windows!). nothing works.

I don't have ANY more patience with W11!

I already tried Linux. I'm using Ubuntu Server for hosting Nextcloud and Fedora just to play around.

Do you prefer Fedora or Ubuntu? I have an old Thinkpad...

(And no, I will not go down the rabbit hole of Arch ;-) At least not for now.)

Since Mint is Ubuntu-based: do you know if Mint will have the same AI crap in the OS?

Go LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition), since Ubuntu is based on Debian, you cut off their bullshit.

I'm honestly not sure.

Linux Mint DE, Debian Edition.

Fun fact, Ubuntu is based off of Debian then branched into its own world.
