#linuxmigration — Public Fediverse posts

A friend brought up an interesting point about how 'installing things on linux is hard', which I agree with.. if you're kinda Windows minded

There's a deep, ancient difference between Windows, Mac and Linux that people rarely seem to name, which also explains why Package Managers exist: DLL Hell. This explains the Windows SideBySide config, and Linux's Package Managers

To explain further, see the posts in the screenshots below (full alt text available):

Getting bored with Ubuntu (and annoyed by Snaps, lol). Which distro should I switch to?

Feel free to suggest something else, though I'm not really interested in going back to something super technical like Gentoo, Slackware, or a BSD variant.

I would prefer something that is user-friendly for everyday use, but customisable. Gaming and programming friendliness also desirable.

@crash_bandicoot @jwildeboer Egal welche Metrik wir nehmen, Linux wächst.
Und jedes Jahr wird es mehr Mainstream. In Deutschland 6% ist durchaus realistisch, trotz etwas fluctuation sehen wir sicherlich noch dieses Jahrzehnt stabile 10%.
In Norwegen übrigens schon >20% Marktanteil: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/norway

If you're on #Windows for anything other than work or PC gaming, you need to start #ChangingYourPerspective. #Linux has always been a solid alternative, specifically in the past 15 years. Yes, in its earliest days it was a niche OS that required someone technically savvy. Today you can make Linux function/look exactly as you want it to - and it's a #MoreSecure #OpenSource platform that is truly universal. There are now literally millions of #developers to support it, plus #ITPros and #hackers that use it daily! If you're on an #Andoird or #ChromeOS device - YOU'RE ON LINUX!! :linux: Time to make the move! If you have an old computer, you can revive it by installing #Linux! #Distros I personally like: #Ubuntu and #PopOS are VERY #UserFriendly. #ArchLinux is great. If you're more security minded, #KaliLinux is your boy. #RedHat will always have a special place in my heart AND is a solid alternative for the enterprise because they had professional support services available. Get to it! #TuxRules #LinuxMigration
