I’m in the process of this now. I haven’t used Linux in like 15 years so I’m starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it’s fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I’ve had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.

Well then I guess I’m screwed. My work doesn’t allow us to regedit.

Switched to full Linux after buying a steamdeck and seeing how good stuff runs on Linux, but I only miss controls to edit my mouse setup and can luckily live without it

In case you haven’t stumbled upon Piper, it’s pretty great for the mouses it supports. I’ve had a good experience with the couple Logitech ones I’ve owned.

Thanks! Unfortunately not for my device, but hopefully someone else sees this and now is able to use their mouse proper again!

Got a new laptop at work this summer and also got updated from win10 to win11 at the same time. I don’t understand why everything is so much slower on win11 ! Starting the system use to be 30s now it’s 3 minutes. Opening file explorer, slow. Opening a picture, slow. Opening an almost empty Excel sheet, guess it’s time for coffee. Switching desktop views, omg soooo slow!

haven’t you heard, they’re moving Windows to the cloud now, everything on your computer would be uploaded to a specified azure server and all local versions deleted, your ssd would become a ram + cache partition, you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy

Well, my work computer is pretty much that already. My company is full-on Google suite. We are not supposed to store any files on the computers, we don’t have any back-ups for the computers’ storage. Everything is supposed to be on Google Drive and 90% of the work is done with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides.

I think many big companies would be very happy if they could have a key-in-hand solution with laptops as “user-terminals” with all processing and files handled in a cloud. Of course there are some important considerations like confidentiality, cybersecurity and GDPR. Network/electricity is another one, but this is already the case today that almost no work can be done in either of these situations.

sudo rm /var/lib/libvirt/images/win10.qcow

I even have a SEPERATE DRIVE mounted at that dir, because I don’t have enough drive space otherwise.

This is also sort of true if you have 2 Linux distros (like debian and fedora) when it comes to grub every now and then.

Is it not standard practice to have two separate drives to deter the mbr and grub bullshit?

Even then it happens, since I have them installed in separate SSDs. It’s an easy fix though, at least. But I’ve been lazy and just load the other distro with the boot loader lol

Does this mean your Windows partition has a good version called ‘Mindows’? Are you telling me there is a distro called ‘Walinux’???
