Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

This is how I remember windows yes. Pop-ups, disruptions, annoyances, and ads.

People think it's normal until they try Pop OS.

Or any linux distro for that matter ? I been using ubuntu and then moved to mint , customised them a bit and they are perfect now

I just bought myself one of those mini PCs and I'm thinking of putting in a Linux distro.

I've only ever used Ubuntu, would you recommend mint to me?

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Not panCat but I've been using Mint (cinnamon) for a couple of months now, it's snap-less Ubuntu (snaps are a controversial packaging format, plenty of videos on that) with a Windows 10-esque UI and lots of actually useful apps pre-installed OOTB, 9/10 can recommend (not 10 bcs it looks a bit...old,but I guess you can customize it or put KDE if u want)

Gentoo or bust :P

[–] jungekatz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Totally ! I use it on my small laptop , with an atom processor , works smooth !

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Ubuntu’s the middle path. It’s got great support.

Going all the way to some obscure linux distro should only be done when you know yourself what features you want that Ubuntu isn’t getting you.

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mint is good. It's based on Ubuntu, but it has a more Windows-like interface. You'll be able to follow along with most ubuntu tutorials while having a more familiar experience. It also supports a wider array of software and imo has a better ethos than Ubuntu (much like Ubuntu has a better ethos than Windows).

I use a MacBook Air M1 a lot for my work and otherwise but I'm growing tired of it. I can't use dual monitors without special software. I wanted to buy the M1 Mac Mini and you double the price of you wanna upgrade the storage/ram to something usable.

My mini pc arrived today and I've done some reading on Mint after you mentioned it, so I can install Cinnamon or what have you and it sounds like it's a pretty ideal set up! Thanks!

literally only when you install it. i haven't had any of this stuff in over 3 years

Just installed Pop on my new (refurb) laptop. I like it quite a lot. If games were as easy as on windows I'd probably run it on my desktop as well. Maybe I will anyway, when I can be bothered to understand how to get things running.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't they? I just use steam and it works. Most games are great on Linux these days. Just need to check Protondb for each game.

Yeah it was much easier than I thought actually. Fantastic how far Linux has come on gaming. I was expecting a whole tiresome process. It was simple.
