STOP TRYING TO INSTALL COPILOT
using windows is basically like having a fed standing behind you at all times but also the fed likes to gossip with anyone that asks
but the most annoying part is that the fed is also trying to gossip with you while you’re trying to do shit on your computer
And gets in the way and fucks everything up if you misclick and select the little unremovable fed button instead of tgd thing you wanted to do. Also replaces random shit like your file explorer with the fed button sometimes.
Also hardcodes your keyboard configuration (yes it does this, I am using a european keyboard and had to do all sorts of fuckery in order to make hotkeys in google docs work.)
Hi :-)
We installed an update while you were asleep. Do you want to upgrade to Windows 11? How about sign in to your Microsoft account? Oh, I see, well we turned all of the ads and tracking back on so have fun finding the settings page to turn them off again!
Fucking right? I need to get better at linux. My mint install keeps crashing in weird ways but i haven’t cared enough to fix it.
I’m lucky in that almost all software i use that isn’t games is foss already.
Fucking “ai”
Hey what if you had a personal assistant who couldn’t do anything right and was always slpurnned out of their mind on halucinogens?

i’d be okay with this if they were human tbh
I havent had Mint, but can strongly recommend ZorinOS. It’s really polished and they have an Android App (works on GrapheneOS) which makes it an even nicer experience. I only dual boot into windows just for FLStudio. Everything else works pretty nicely and been using it now for 1-2 yrs
Ubuntu is nice. I had mint on my desktop, but I just like Ubuntu way better. I find Ubuntu to be the Windows of Linux, without all of the spyware/malware shit. It’s the most popular, it’s kept up to date, and it works out of the box.
I’m typing this on Ubuntu from a Windows Surface Laptop Go. This little ultrabook is hella cursed and it just… worked. Ironically, the 5 minutes I used windows 11 on this thing were chugging like hell. This is an Ubuntu only device now.
I have one of those windows surface tablets from an ill-considered mania/panic purchase years ago and I rarely use it because the touch interface is so wretched on windows. :(
Please, for your own sake and sanity, try Fedora. You can test drive it on a live disc.
Can I honestly ask why you choose Fedora over other distros? I have no sway either way because I’ve simply heard nothing in particular about Fedora in years. So, I’m curious why a Fedora user is a Fedora user.

They’re a Fedora user because they use Fedora
It’s probably the most polished non-enterprise distro. I avoid anything based on Ubuntu like the plague, though.
Thanks for that perspective.
I’ve never been able to prove anything and I think there are still good people doing good work in their employ but I can’t help but feel like modern Canonical is an op to make desktop Linux worse.
The update tiers of “Ubuntu Pro” are really gross and probably the final nail in the coffin for me.
I’m one of those strange people who compiles all their own software and trusts nothing, but I still need to know what to recommend, y’know, sane people. I tried the Ubuntu variants out recentlyish on an unused machine and found myself making so many changes and finding packages surprisingly stale, I just I couldn’t recommend people switch to this… I guess I’ll give Fedora a whirl.
The packages get updates fairly quickly for a non-rolling release distro, and the distro is more batteries-included and tends to adopt newer technologies like BTRFS faster than other distros. It also has the immutable Silverblue variant which looks neat although I’ve never used it myself.
I’ve got a really powerful machine and the Debian kernel wasn’t compatible with my graphics card. Mint kind of felt like Windows but a crappier, older version. Fedora felt like something that is actually making a break away from stale old things. And, everything was just plug and play for me.
