  • In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks

  • If you have issues with mint, try something based on Debian or Fedora rather than Ubuntu like Mint is.

    For Fedora I recommend Bazzite if you do gaming and nothing too technical. Flatpaks make it easy to find and install software without messing things up. Otherwise Fedora Kiinoite.

    For Debian I recommend Debian itself really. Also runs very well on much older machinery.

  • fairly trivial

    You vastly overestimate the average computer user's abilities.

  • Sure, these days it could be said (though Mint still is a bit different looking enough that it could also be said it looks less like Windows 10 than Zorin - that's why they think you're running Windows 9 instead). 10 - 15 years ago? No, Mint didn't look like Windows. Maybe Windows XP but not 7.

    That's why Zorin exists, because back then it actually looked a lot like Windows, and was one of a few that did so.

    And, it could also easily change it's look to XP, Vista, 95, and Mac back then too. I think now though it's only Pro that it has all the options, but it also has expanded options I see including ChromeOS (which I imagine is something certain schools would prefer).

    And unlike Mint, even the core edition can easily swap to a touch type interface for those with touchscreen laptops.

  • Nah, y'all just young. Zorin's designed to look extremely Windows-like, and they've always gotten a bump when Microsoft has a stroke. Last time they grew a lot was Windows 8.

    If anything, this is just a sign of how badly Microsoft has fucked up with Windows 11.

  • Oh fuck off. You'll Luigi the open source people who offer a free OS designed for people unfamiliar with Linux but not Oracle or Microsoft CEOs? Surrrrrre.

    You harm the open source community far more than the average closed source marketer. Haven't even heard of a distro that's been around over a decade either? Poser

  • It's for people who don't know what an operating system is (probably over half the world population or much greater) but can understand "this is like Windows but works faster and with less viruses, and it has something like Microsoft Office but free".

    It was the most easy to convince others to use it during the Windows 8 era because it looked so much like Windows 7 and likely the same is happening now with the end of life of Windows 10.

    Not that hard if you ever spoke to anyone who doesn't really understand computers. Good for you I guess that you came from a family of tech literate people I guess.

  • I have the same layout except an older 3090 instead of a 5090. I had compatibility issues until I switched to Bazzite. Seems Fedora based distros work better with new hardware compared to Ubuntu based ones. It's worked so well I finally straight up deleted windows entirely.

  • From what I've seen, that's optimistic unfortunately. But it seems to be dependent on the region / country.

    By my anecdotal experience, seems to me men in poorer countries wash their hands way more than those in wealthier countries too.

  • In fairness, the employees are the highest paid in the industry, making well over 1/2 million a year + bonuses, and even the janitor I believe is well paid, from a leak that came out once in the news.

    They also have very few employees surprisingly.

    And they're private, so there's no "line must always go up" mentality either.

    Should they be paid even more? Yes, but compared to basically all other corporations, he's like last on the list. Not to mention gaming on Linux and open source software (and now, VR on Linux) has basically become possible and easily achievable thanks to Valve, so at least some of that huge money is going back directly to the relevant community. That's way more than can be said about any other tech company.

    He's still on the list, but he might be the furthest down.

  • Ohp you're right. I misunderstood the prices, and thought the cheapest one was 200$ not the most expensive one. 200 to 350€ I figured was the VAT + Import fees.

    200 to 600 don't know what the heck is going on.
