Glad I switched to Linux!!
And that's why, as Windows 10 is about to expire, I am switching to Linux
I switched to Linux Mint (Cinamon) two weeks ago and I'm surprised how easy it was, and now wonder why I didn't do it earlier. So far I have been super satisfied!
Linux Mint Cinnamon is awesome. I'm a developer for embedded linux systems and I run the current version of Mint on all my machines, even at work. Having a user friendly experience out of the box doesn't make it not Linux/FOSS.
And if the ease of installation surprised you, just wait until you see what system updates are like compared with windows!
I updated two of my systems to Linux Mint 22.2 yesterday and the entire install process runs in the background in about 90 seconds without disrupting what you're doing (I was in a meeting while I let it install). Then you reboot whenever convenient and that's less than another minute.
Reads like an ad, but I support this motion
I think it's more that I'm a person trying to give an honest recommendation to help a fellow human being, and it is the ADS that try to be like ME! :D
But you're right. My strategic placement of exclamation points make it read like an infomercial script. Remember the meme about using occasional exclamation point in work emails to seem not insane!
I'm also on Mint, and love it.
-Actual client testimonial
I'm using Cinnamon and so's my wife!
My son is too, he just doesn't know it yet. ;)
The PC is in another room but the desk for it isn't in place yet. And he knows it exists. He's just in third grade and is not quite an Operating System Snob just yet.
Gotta indoctrinate them early
A fellow Linux mint guy! Also got into cinnamon!
I'm gonna do the same in october. Though I'm really dreading it, even though I know it will be fine and already use Mint on two other computers.
Outlook has spent the last 2 weeks freezing on me constantly, and Excel freezes with it. Absolutely painful, seriously thinking of jumping to Linux this year, with MSoft ending support for W10.
I mean, you can't really blame this one on AI outlook has been crap for decades.
But it has been miles better than gmail for decades.
We're talking about the client.
I am as well
If you had ever run an outlook server, you wouldn't say that.
Join us! I switched to Mint about 8 months back and I have noticeably fewer regular issues than when I was on Windows.
My windows install started bluescreening a couple days ago and won't boot, might be this exact issue lmao, anyways, I got linux and neither the energy nor time to deal with microsoft's bullshit, I'm tempted to wipe that garbage off my disk for good
Do it. Enjoy the new freedom.
Oof. I only upgraded my last Windows 10 install to Linux Mint a week ago. It feels like I may have dodged a bullet, this time.
As you said, I just don't have the time or energy for this particular bit of computing excitement.
I switched to Linux Mint saldy I need Windows for some things so I dual booted. Got sick of that, so now I have a VM with Tiny11.
Obligatory "windows updates can break Linux on dual boot" comment
Never tried it myself, but looks promising, you should try it on your dual boot. https://github.com/TibixDev/winboat
I'm so glad I get to enjoy Linux every single day.
I tried to rollback this update and either somehow did something incredibly wrong, or windows decided to bug out. It slowed the PC horribly, and I had to reinstall windows 11. Such a pain
We should keep in mind that thousands of people work at large corporations like Microsoft and many of them do not agree with company policy and positions, including people in senior roles.
Scott Hanselman is a VP at Microsoft who has given some of the best presentations on AI from a social, ethical, and technical demonstration standpoint that I have seen. I have been spreading his NDC London talk around to everyone I can: https://youtu.be/kYUicaho5k8
It is worth the watch.
