There's no beginner friendly Linux OS, but.......if you willing to learn a thing or two about linux (at least know how to install programs, updating system, & install your favorite Windows program on wine bc you can't find equivalent linux program) i think you'll loved Linux so much because it's so flexible.
If you encounter errors, don't worry, there's answer how to fix it, all you need is Google/DuckDuckGo
Ubuntu is absolutely a beginner friendly OS. If I give a computer to somebody that knows nothing more than how to turn it on, Ubuntu will be no more difficult for that person to surf the internet than it would be in Windows. I've been teaching people how to use their computers for more than half my life and the vast majority of problems are ignorant people on Windows. Linux isn't inherently more difficult to use, it's just different. For adept Windows users, switching and expecting to be just as familiar is where it gets more tricky.
Although I agree in spirit, there is a bloatfree version of windows 11 called LTSC.
Makes me one happy windows user.
Straight to advanced Linux. Rip the bandaid off now. It's only going to hurt more later.
Anybody know of citation software such as Zotero that runs stably on LibreOffice? I will gladly switch but this is holding me back.
Recently I have problem with high you and cpu usage, mainly GPU(GeForce 1060). Trying to troubleshoot it and updating drivers but so far it's still doing it with game that shouldn't be that demanding (timber born). So I'm debating switching completely to Linux already have Linux mint on second drive but remember having problems with the GPU drivers too. So while I like the simplicity and not bloated os not sure I want to troubleshoot other stuff and learning new os and using command line. I'm still very much noob with Linux so just want to ideally set it and for it just work and occasionally update without stuff breaking. -just a bit of rant about deciding, sorry if it doesn't belong here.
There is Bazzite which is setup for gaming, and has ISOs specific to hardware type
And yet still manages graphical corruption from sleep, and input lag in games on a tailor-built ISO!
Does it? I'm on NixOS and OpenSUSE, both have been good. OpenSUSE using nVidia own maintained repo seems this avoid graphical glitches
Is it possible to remap the copilot key on the new computers back to the control key? I keep pressing it to skip words, but end up needing to use two hands now.
I'm on Aurora and while I got it mostly working now, I would not call it user friendly.
Hint: :q!
