@djdarren @woelkchen I migrated my #Linux many times between distros and I also do the same thing: I never have a seperate /home partition so I backup everything on /home on a seperate drive + other things & after I standard install the new distro, I live boot from USB & replace the new /home with the new /home content

@djdarren @woelkchen you would be better off with #KDE #Linux because, I never tried it but, from what I heard I saw from other users, it’s pretty unstable, at least #KDE #Linux is immutable distro based on #Arch so you have a significantly lower chance to break it

@shalafi since I began on 2 Years old in 1994 until now I guess 31 years
And I really debugged, I really debugged, I never installed a pirated OS on my personal laptops but I stayed 5 years from 2012 on the support for the m$ club on my faculty & I still am but significantly less for winlol & more Linux, I met ms. Linux in 2008
I know you think 2 years old is too young but believe me, using the computer without being able to read anything used to be easy, especially when you have some assistance

@possiblylinux127 @pastermil in my life, I literally saw everything and am seeing more & will see more & more because of dumb people & non-techies who installed pirated versions of winlol, for example, ones without support for UWA meaning many software that depend on that feature but have essential functionnalities and a winlol version that accidently cannot delete anything, & more, so I advise you to stop recommending this to people

@ragebutt @TheLeadenSea don’t forget steriotypes, history and old habits almost always work for non-tech savvy, for example, many people avoid Samsung devices because they explode in spite that even happened last time years ago, I know they still explode but it is a rare even and its causes are known

@clif Linux Mint is a popular migration destination because of how close its UI is to Winlol, but KDE is a close UI too to winlol’s, as for the software, if possible, one can use Wine or a VM until they get used to native Linux tools, with a little research, one can easily find a good alternative to almost anything

@clif @BCsven are you implying that Linux is not compatible with most things on winlol? I’ve yet to find anything that I need and is winlol only, everything either has a version on Linux or has a Linux-able alternative
There are many winlol-only things but none I need
For gaming, Linux
For office use, Linux
For media, definitely Linux…

@lung @AnUnusualRelic eh, had 4, 2, 1 and 0, on EndeavourOS when you yay right after you yay, or you yay after an hour

@GolfNovemberUniform no idea

@GolfNovemberUniform @cm0002 sure do
Ah, it’s good to see Linux gaming evolving

@specterspectre plus, it doesn’t have any of the phones I own

@specterspectre eh, I’m not a developer, plus, tuto like this takes time that I hardly find

@specterspectre @michael_palmer or maybe a Huawei P5 pro

@specterspectre @michael_palmer also Samsung Galaxy A70, however, it is critical that I don’t leave it unusable since it’s essential for my work

@specterspectre @michael_palmer can you find an official custom ROM of LineageOS for Nokia X or Alcatel Pixi 4 (4")?

@cm0002 there’s another way: using a VM

@cm0002 eh, does that mean I can’t anymore tweak my Lumia? Fuck (yes I still have a Lumia, even many years after their death, it is still my best phone, android can’t compete, an android, and I mean all of them, lags like hell on 2Gb RAM, the Lumia runs super smoothly with 1 Gb RAM)

@sockman @prettydarknwild winlol? 🤔 it’s a penguin 🤨

@AndrewZabar in 2024, you just yay -S nvidia-inst && nvidia-inst & everything works so they are no longer a problem

@AndrewZabar using EndeavourOS, for example, searching how to install the Nvidia drivers, you can find old results such as installing nvidia-dkms… yay -S nvidia-dkms, that could have been useful 3 years ago but now it breaks the display, you should instead yay -S nvidia-inst && nvidia-inst & everything will work perfectly
