Fedora, it fucking slaps and worked right out of the box. I'm using it for work and play on my main rig! I dual boot for some very specific hardware things that are not normal, but other than that it's been seamless! When I booted into Windows 10 again, they auto installed copilot... Glad to be done with this crap.

    bridget-vibe Based Fedora decision, never switch off of Fedora you can literally do anything you want on it. Make sure to read up on Linux documentation (either from Fedora themselves or other sources like the Arch wiki), the more you learn now, the less pain you'll get later when you have manually intervene in something. Fedora is legitimately one of the best operating systems in the world and I'm so glad you found it. You can always ask questions in the libre comm if you wish.

    My best piece of advice to new Linux users is to always discover and learn about more free software rather than trying to fit proprietary programs, you'd be surprised at how unnecessary old habits were (example: using ffmpeg/imagemagick to convert multimedia or yt-dlp to download youtube videos rather than going to websites or using standalone programs).

    wtf they're rolling it out to an operating system they'll stop supporting next year. Microsoft can't stop grifting it's just in its nature.

      you won't regret it

      alternativeto.com is a fantastic resource to discover the libre alternative to whatever you have used previously

      You can pry Gentoo from my cold dead hands, but Fedora was very pleasant to use for years, pretty robust, and what I set up for friends/family who aren't locked-in to the Microsoft ecosystem.

      Thanks for the tip! I can only take in a little at a time on the info though. I'll def save the link. I loved W10, it was great when I first got it but look what they did to my boy!
