  • Real talk.

    I have been around long enough to know that this conversation has happened ever since Windows 7.

    And each time and every time an OS EOL I spend time investigating a couple of Linux distros to try that switch.

    This time is no different. From Redhat to Debian to Ubuntu to popOS to Mint. Each one is significantly better than the last.

    But even 2024, I’m having to spend time inside the terminal to make the OS act more like Windows.

    Tailscale has no native app. Gotta install it in the terminal. I want to use my touch screen in the browser to swipe the back button. Nope, I spent 2 hours on forums and ChatGPT and had to install something in the terminal. I was not successful. My Nvidia video card is not working properly. I gave up after.

    Why am I spending hours trying to make my experience like Windows when Windows is right there. Sure sure, privacy and advertising yada yada. Install Adguard and disable services that you don’t agree with.
