Spoiler 1: I don’t use gnome

Spoiler 2: https://askubuntu.com/questions/525482/how-can-i-assign-a-keyboard-shortcut-for-the-script-that-i-have-created

Clown

I know this is bait but literally just web browsing on a windows desktop 2 days ago made it bluescreen. W10 even, so can’t even blame the shitshow that is W11.

I guess it goes for your argument though of stuff that can be fixed with a reboot…

88 comments and nobody has noted that the article itself looks like AI slop?

Lots of signals here: the writing style, bland and wishy-washy use of statistics, bullets and formatting that arbitrarily organize without adding value, the rule-of-threes clauses, and redundant details, the intro summary list, the lack of sourcing links, and “written” by an author whose bio specifically mentions AI.

I specifically looked for backup to the assertion about higher FPS and it’s just a random unsourced percentage. Maybe it’s true but this article has no value as a source.

That linked thread is about keyboard shortcuts btw, not at all what this conversation is about. Which would be creating a link (called shortcut on windows) on the desktop that executes a program with some custom parameters.

i like windows 7

And which got removed from GNOME. Plus one point for not using it

Linux-bad-because-my-windows-ways-do-not-work is still laughable

Did this last May & haven’t missed much. I don’t play AAA slop though.

Linux will never become popular till it’s as easy to use as something like VLC. Download, install, and it runs everything. Until this happens, Linux will never take over no matter how unbearably shitty Windows becomes.

I mean it fixed the problem automatically, didn’t it? /s

Which distro did you end up going with? Wanted to change my tower over from Windows. Guessing bazzite is appropriate?

God damn slop fuckin everywhere. Tnx man.

The typical user couldn’t care less about Windows VS Linux, but it makes it difference. I don’t know that it fixes the issues, but it might. It’s also an option you have because you’re on Linux, not Windows. You get a choice, and can figure out what works for you. It isn’t ironic, because that why you choose Linux. If you don’t want a choice and just want the garbage MS puts out, you don’t need to make any more choices. If you want options then you need to actually make choices too (though most aren’t permanent, like DEs, and you can swap between them).

I switched to Linux full time almost two years ago when Win 10 started saying my CPU wasn’t supported. My CPU is in the i7 family and I think they all got that treatment. Since then I’ve had no major issues with Linux Mint. As for gaming, I do get some frame drops with my Nvidia 3060, but I was getting the same on Windows.

Arch was described as hard mode but I installed EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma about a month and a half ago and it’s been smooth sailing. Given all the programs I use have native linux clients and I don’t play kernel level anti-cheat games at all.

Yeah. Sure it did.

I click start, I click shutdown, it shuts down. So unless you are talking about some obscure shit that no one really uses, that’s a lie.

Yes. I make the world a living hell for avoiding toxicity.

Yeah. Sort of my point. The vast majority of users will never encounter problems severe enough to cause switching to a backwards OS

I’m thinking about going dual boot mode soon, as Manjaro is a godsend so far on my ThinkPad.

For what it’s worth, the “i7” branding isn’t a family, but a tier representation.

So basically it goes like:

i3 = basic

i5 = midrange

i7 = high end

i9 = top end

The first i7s released way back in 2010, so some older i7 chips are not supported by Windows 11 while newer ones (2018 and onwards) are.

But yeah, use Linux
