Plasma ended up being my DE of choice a year ago. Native Wayland support, HDR and VRR, and general adherence to the same Windows paradigm for managing apps/desktop shortcuts made things easy. I don't think that design is wrong, and it's been plenty efficient. It was also the only DE at the time that seemed to be prioritizing matching Windows features where they were clearly strongest rather than trying to pretend Windows had nothing to boast about at all.

Now, if we could talk about letting me enable display outputs without using the terminal that would be greeeeaaaat.

This action finally spurred me to install vanilla Linux with KDE, and wow. KDE is so good nowadays. Thank you for your great work!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Usually I'm all in favor of campaigns designed to make people get rid of Windows I'm not a big fan of how the Endof10 campaign is run.

They do not recommend any specific distribution. Instead they literally say "Search for Linux distributions for beginners to get some suggestions."

A search query like this will make you end in SEO hell and you will not any good suggestions. Please actually recommend a few distributions for you campaign instead of leaving the most important step very vague.

On top of that it talks about Linux and not GNU/Linux, while also avoiding mentioning the issues of software freedom.

I have a Windows 11 / Kubuntu dual boot setup.

Windows 11 crashes about 1x per hour.

Kubuntu has never crashed.

Its sorta funny but I like kde overall but the windows like distro I use utilizes gnome and my setup is lazy install and go. I think it would make sense for the distro to use kde mainly but I think the distro is sorta lazy and uses ubuntu with changing as little as they have to for what they want.

@kde @Endof10 @kde I've heard good things about a video editor called Kdenlive - maybe you could check it out? 😈

That's a great page. Very well done! I'm sure it'll help a whole lot of people. Thank you for making it and sharing it!

@[email protected] @Endof10 @[email protected] Just terminal commands are gonna be a huge hurdle for Windows exiles. Had to have someone guide me through a bunch of code after the Nobara upgrade didn't install gpu drivers.

I would love helping to translate it to german, where would I head for that?

So my PC will run W11 without a problem, but fuck that bloated mess. I have to use it on my work laptop and the number of times I’ve wanted to take a sledgehammer to it is innumerable.

I’ve settled on Bazzite because 90% of the time I’m playing steam games, but I’m having trouble understanding what (if anything) I need to do with my photos and music to migrate those over.

Also, I have 3 SSDs- 1 M.2 nvme for the OS, and 2 others for storage. After I back up my files to an external drive… and that’s where my knowledge of the process ends.

Anyone happen to know of any resources that can get me from the 1st grade understanding of Linux that I currently have to where I need to be to successfully migrate my PC?

Exactly how can Windows break my computer. My wife has a computer still running Windows XP and it still works. She never connects it to the internet, think that's the way.

Will I be able to run my steam and Epic games with this? What about another PC games I own? And my hundreds of mp3 books and thousands of music files. I have them on internal harddrives. If I upgrade my main hard drive to this will I be able to access the files and docs on the two another drives?
