I also did the same thing. I’m back to Mint OS but at the end I’m not much happier.
Thanks! I just installed it.
This is awesome. Thank you my internet friend.
Wow thanks friend! Does the 2FA work in this silo?
Care about yourself first and then care about others after.
Esp true if the oxygen mask falls down on a flight.
I just found out that PopOS is getting abandoned. So I’ll just wait for Rust?
I get that. I think my line of work doesn’t require much. I just want the basics like slack and zoom. I just need the basics working “Back Gestures and a non freezing computer”
I do care about privacy. This was the primary reason to try Linux again.
I just didn’t realize how much work for a newcomer would need to do to get basic functionality working.
Perhaps I didn’t give Mint a good enough chance. I felt the UX wasn’t very good. Like, why are there so many apps just preinstalled and thrown in an “All Application” section.
I see its categorized as well, but it’s just daunting the first time using it.
Insightful. You must be a professor.
I literally typed in a search “Easiest linux distro for a windows user” and downloaded the top results which was Mint and PopOS. What do you suggest? I’m open for suggestions.
My nvidia card is probably my main issue. I will likely try again in a few years and maybe next time purchase a Linux box from the manufacture to get some support.
I care about privacy and have a spare computer willing to see if it can completely switch over. I don’t think it’s a compromise having my computer freeze each time it needs to sleep. I think that is more of a bug.
I went into this project understanding that I need to spend some time to make it work for my workflow.
For the sleep issue, I tried this command sudo kernelstub -a mem_sleep_default=deep
It didn’t seem to work. I ran out of ideas to try and got frustrated. How do I configure the swap memory?
Thank you, but I’m very calm. I just didn’t realize how sensitive the Linux community is with their lifestyle.
A couple of hours spent trying to tinker with an OS is far from unwilling. I know all OSes need work. I never asked for it to be completely turnkey. Just **more **turnkey so I don’t have to spend all day just to get basic things working.
Did I though? I praised it for how far it has come from 10 years ago. Then I highlighted my frustration with quirks and bugs I was experiencing.
I wasn’t being threatened. I’m giving you perspective from a newcomer who is having issues with trying out Linux. I’m happy you are not bothered by your OS. Now you know that someone else out there is not having the same experience as you.
I’ll give it a try! Thanks!
