I think it will but i recon it will take a while. Mint/vanilla os are pretty much ideal for the newbies. Ans steam os once it comes to desktop will be pretty good as well.

It’s going to happen (probably this year or next), but it’s going to be mostly Chrome OS and Steam OS.

It won’t be a single year it’ll be many years, built entirely on something that has already happened (Proton)

I’m an accidental Linux adopter this year. I accidentally bricked a relatively new laptop by messing up an MSConfig setting, and since I didn’t have Windows restore discs, I just switched it to a Linux desktop.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but the laptop has been running really smooth since then. I didn’t have a huge Steam library to replace, so the only bummer has been one or two Windows/Mac only apps that I haven’t been able to find Linux replacements for yet. Otherwise, 8/10, would brick my laptop again.

Thanks, mate. I installed Mint because a couple threads I checked said it was probably the best for people with no experience with Linux. One program I was trying to find a replacement for is a Monte Carlo simulation add-on for MS Excel called SIPMath Modeler tools from probabilitymanagement.org. I just started using LibreOffice as a replacement to Excel, so honestly I haven’t checked out the add-on library yet. I’m not too worried about it yet since I have an older laptop that’s air gapped now and still running Excel 2016 if I absolutely need to run the program.

Just did a quick search and this video came up. Maybe it will help point you in the right direction?

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules
2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like β€œevery user of thing”.
  • Don’t get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of β€œpeasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
