  • Auf nem basic level, stimm ich dir zu. Bei vielen Distros kommt man ohne Terminal schon weit, aber wenns dann ans Troubleshooting geht, wirds schnell anspruchsvoller. Und da nicht viel für Linux optimiert wird, muss man schon häufiger troubleshooten als auf Windows. Das ist zumindest meine Erfahrung
















  • I get it. I also don’t want to signal to Microsoft that switching to a subscription model is valid, for an OS I already payed for. I worry they’ll adapt it for all services released in the future, which are declining in quality. They are basically becoming Adobes ugly sibling.

    I know, this is a contradictory statement to what I have written before which was driven by frustration mainly. Managed to troubleshoot a few things since then.



  • Lol sorry for the ramble but I hope this might help you feel a little less lost at the grocery store. ;)

    Thank you for your detailed comment. :)

    I am dual booting Linux Mint Cinnamon, and you are totally right. The “app store” is very nice and I was honestly impressed how much control Cinnamon offered and made it accessible for beginners through GUI. It felt more streamlined than Win10 in some places. Steam’s Proton is also a huge deal, as most games work great with it enabled out of the box. I do however often feel lost. I didn’t expect that but the thing most difficult for me is basic stuff, like navigating the start menu. I really like the customization Win10 offered and miss it dearly.

    I guess it is part not having a feeling on how Cinnamon works yet. After using Windows since 2006 I know my way around it failry well, and I don’t have that “gut-feeling” in Linux yet. It will come with time, but atm I am feeling a little defeated.
