    I’ve decided to run Linux as my main os next PC build… I said that two years ago and still haven’t built my new rig.

    I’m terrified of switching. There’s just way too much information out there. So many options.

    I’m used to being in a box with just one or two ways of doing things.

    Does anyone know a good series to help windows users adapt?

    Just need web surfing and gaming including steam vr

      Honestly, just go with Debian Stable (bookworm) with KDE or Linux Mint. It is pretty stable and a windows like experience.

      I have not tried VR on it tho, so can’t speak to that.

        I second Debian. Stable is excellent.

        Testing has newer packages and is generally almost as stable.

        I published my Debian gaming setup a few days ago. Haven’t tried VR on it either as I don’t have a headset, but I assume it works.

    When folks will stop with the “If Linux won’t become another Windows, it’ll fail” mentality? Linux is not Winblows – and we really mean it. To “increase adoption” users need to acknowledge (only) this – that both Windows and Linux differs from one another and that won’t change in any time soon.

    He makes a great point about separating “the FOSS crusade” from the linux discussion.
