    Still on W10 with 7 year old hardware. When it finally croaks, I will not be replacing the OS. MS once said W10 would be their ‘final’ OS and by Jove, I will make it so in my household.

      Are you saying you just won’t compute anymore, or you will attempt to install a legacy OS on hardware decades after it will be obsolete? (Almost certainly won’t work)

      🤮 No thanks, just left, sick and tired of having personal information and my content stolen.

      To be fair though, for my ancient 2012 MacBook Pro, Linux Mint has made it actually useable and useful around the house.

        I have a c.2011 MBP… did everything work automagically upon installation? Like WiFi, graphics acceleration, trackpad, sleeping, etc

        I think the original commenter is saying they do not plan to replace it with something running W11.

    PSA: This is not a Linux community and I didnt want this post to actually start a discussion on Linux. It’s very meta that people do really come in here and talk about Linux instead of talking about the Fediverse.

    Say that Arch and Nix are stupid and anything other than Ubuntu is just meaningless.

      I can’t wait for kerneld, desktopd and shelld, so I can finally run a fully systemd system.

    It is for me. I already wasn’t hot about Windows 11 and this year I went full Linux.

    Has it been without problems? No, although most of my problems stem from dealing with the Windows partition I still keep on my desktop just in case. (Protip: Use NTFS-3G instead of NTFS3; the latter is horribly unstable.) Getting PipeWire to run my Bluetooth headphones on 44100 Hz to avoid crackling in Windows games was a bit arcane, admittedly.

    On the upside, KDE looks nice with the default Breeze theme (I think that windows 10 and 11 are butt-ugly). My computers feel noticeably snappier and especially the networking stack blows Windows out of the water. KDE Connect makes sharing data between my devices comfortable. All games I’ve tried so far run well, with the biggest issue so far being that in Satisfactory I can’t copy/paste settings between buildings.

    I’m happy. There are still some areas that need work but it’s pretty damn good already.

      As a workaround, perhaps you could copypaste from the Notes part of the Steam overlay. That’s what I needed to migrate loot filters in Last Epoch. Not ideal, but hope this helps

        When I just tried to see if I could fix the issue it was no longer there. Apparently the Satisfactory 1.0.3 update silently fixed it. Nice.
