Year of Linux on the Desktop - eviltoast

2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    Clearly you haven’t used desktop Linux for any period of time. Its not the same as a server and is pretty nice and friendly.

      I get why everyone hates windows but it literally just works

        I guess I’ve had the opposite experience. Maybe its just that I know how to fix Linux but not windows.

      Windows has more minor problems that are superficial and easy to fix, Linux has less problems but when it does they’re more significant and detrimental.
