i followed a "install any linux distro in 5 minutes" guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly

as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane

anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing

also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection

These days, Windows 11 is a janky experience on par with your average Linux distro tbf. OOTB Windows 11 is terrible, which means dicking around with third party software and regedit, and even OOTB Windows 11 is janky compared with previous Windows iterations ime.

    And the Linux distro usually comes with better documentation in order to fix problems, and changing settings is often equally or less difficult. Config files may look complicated and the terminal might really scare me sometimes, but at least it's not the utterly inscrutable Windows Registry.
