For me it was the opposite. I had Ubuntu installed and wanted to do a upgrade to the next release, took around 2 hours "settings things up" where I just said fuck it and force closed it.

[-] KrankyKong@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

My experience with big release distros was like that. I rarely had an upgrade complete without issue. Rolling release has been good to me so far. Granted, this was 10 years ago and things gave probably gotten better since.

In the Windows community I'm guessing the top message would say:

When you install Linux but didn't realize a dozen locales were preselected

“I keep having packages that are not updated when I run apt update; apt upgrade - no matter how many times I type it!!1!”

Its poorly the defacto standard on most common distros

I have a laptop still with Windows 10. I got it from my late sister about 4 years ago, booted it up, went and installed Ubuntu (18.04 at the time), and never touched Windows again.

I later read somewhere that W10 was forcibly upgrading itself to W11, so I'm afraid to even boot into it. Should probably take some time to copy everything important over and finally nuke it.

For reference, I've been using Linux since around 2012.

If it isn't encrypted you should be able to mount the Windows partition from Ubuntu

[-] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Oh, it isn't encrypted. I've mounted the partition before. I just didn't find the time (read: I was lazy :P).

[-] PainInTheAES@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Haha, fair enough, I feel that. I've been procrastinating on my home lab maintenance.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
