That problem was present in both distros, and I even went so far as to unsuccessfully edit system files to get the desired behaviour.

What desired behaviour are you talking about exactly?

Because I have used those exact two distros, also with deadkeys since I type in Portuguese and Spanish alongside English, and deadkeys works just fine for me.

• To use Windows only and legacy software.

This is a fair point. If you're a creator and need adobe software then Linux is pretty much a no go. However, a lot of windows software have Linux equivalents (and those

• Some laptops don't support Linux due to missing drivers. are generally free as well), so its a matter of doing research.

If you pick the right distribution it may include all the drivers you need. So far I tested 5 distributions and they all worked straight out of the box. I'll test Linux on a Mac this afternoon and see how it goes, but I'm optimistic it will just work also.

Some very old people hate change and would want to use windows 10 till the end of times, matter of fact I had seen a full office with about 5 desktops that is still running windows xp. (Spoiler alert:they got a ransomware 2 years ago.)

Fine. These people who refuse to adapt to the world can just keep using windows. No skin off my nose either way.

finally, Windows is idiot proof, meaning that it's kind of hard to ruin desktop windows during the normal operations. In comparison, a bad Linux update could fuck your boot loader beyond repair (it happened to me twice in fact, once on openSUSE tumbleweed and the other on Clear Linux).

Now this "idiot proof" take is really funny. You see, I've been using Mint for about a month now, never having to log into Windows. Yesterday I needed to log into windows and was immediately met with an update (against my consent), followed by a blue screen of death and when I restarted my laptop my profile couldn't be acceded and I was instead logged into a safe Environment.

I ended up having to troubleshoot using the Registry to get my account back. If this is idiot proof I have no idea what you consider a system that just works (which is what Linux does in my experience). You'd feel like Heaven is on Earth. On another note, WiFi never autoconnected on login in on windows in my laptop, but it does on Linux.

As for the issues you had, I understand. Rolling releases aren't for everyone and if you're not particularly into tinkering or just use your laptop to browse the web, an immutable distro is pretty much unbreakable.

Otherwise, Linux Mint is very conservative so it won't break with updates (and in the rare instance that does, you can just use Timeshift to rollback the updates anyway).

I don't have experience with setting up networks on Linux, but Ubuntu should have some guides available, no?

In any case, I was speaking from the perspective of someone who used Linux Mint and Fedora. Both work pretty much out of the box with little tinkering.

Which distribution did you try?

Linux mint is more windows-like than windows itself. I know that sounds odd but watch some videos if you're curious and you'll see what i mean.

Why even bother at this point? Linux has become so good it's actually easier and more familiar to use than the clusterfuck that is windows 11.

Well, if you go back to my original comment, all I said was that Tesla owners were clearly not paying attention to even their News notifications on their phones, since Musk's presence is ubiquitous. Tesla's multitude of issues is equally as well-known.

That said, I didn't wish anybody any harm for buying a Tesla, although they probably will get harmed when the "self-driving" feature inevitably sends them speeding into a brick wall.

But buying that garbage car was their choice.

Like the other guy said, Elon Musk is public about his shittiness. In the beginning didn't even care about him, and yet I couldn't escape him because he was constantly on the news.

They just weren't paying attention then because Musk has always been exactly that.

Switzerland going the "appeasement" route with fascists, as per usual.

Interesting how other instances of the fediverse have no such restrictions. It's almost as if they want to make it as difficult as possible so that people just don't federate.

Why hello there
