  • Trying Linux after using Windows for decades

    Jump

  • Personally, I use KDE on Debian and it works great on my 2011 Laptop.

    I just think, especially for a beginner, remembering the 'under the hood' commands, e.g. package managers, different preconfigurations of installed packages e.t.c., for such different distributions is probably quite challenging.

  • As Nobara is Fedora based and Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu/Debian, perhaps stay in this eco system and use some Fedora spin/derivate on the Laptop as well.

    Good luck with the transition away from Windows!

  • That's odd. I hate closed eco systems.

  • If proton supports CalDAV (I'm not sure), it should work e.g. with DAVx5 which integrates well with Android calendar.

  • Or both, as the barrel jack is much more robust than the USB-C connector.

  • Can you please speak up. I've been standing next to a Flussregenpfeifer and can't hear you.

    Surprisingly marcial name for such a possibly pretty harmless creature.

    What's this specialty drink called?

  • Meowtini, shaken not stirred.

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?

    Jump

  • Windows -> Ubuntu 10.04 ... 11.10, -> Kubuntu 12.04 -> Debian 7 (stable)... 8 (testing... stable) ... 12

  • Linux Kernel 6.8 Reaches End of Life, Users Should Upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.9

    Jump

  • Yes, usual releases are supported ~ 3 months, LTS versions get support for a much longer period e.g. 6.6 for 3 y, 6.1 for 4 y, 5.15 for 5 y or 5.10 for 6 y.

    Jump

  • Two different things. LTS kernels get security patches until their support is dropped.

  • How easy is it to switch back to windows?

    Jump

  • Yes, but if e.g. openSuSE installs its Grub 2 on top of Ubuntu's Grub 2, you end up with a different theming. If Windows overwrites the bootloader, the Linux boot options are gone.

  • what OS should I use instead of xubuntu?

    Jump

  • No, but somebody else has done it and it is basically like the standard procedure for switching between releases.

  • These are the problems you're facing on Linux, and I'm baffled!

    Jump

  • It ain't much, but it's honest work.

  • It's funny because it's true

    Jump

  • Like my professor used to say: "Implementation is trivial, a trained ape can do it."

  • Any advice for a long-time Linux user, first-time Linux desktop user?

    1. There's a Dropbox .deb and .rpm for linux as far as I can tell, but I cannot attest to its quality or how well it integrates with a given file manager. Cloud accounts are generally well supported amongst the key desktop environments, for which I'd consider Cinnamon to be a part of.

    In 2018 Dropbox dropped support for running/syncing on encrypted partitions, in my case ext4 on encfs. Don't ask me why.

    I don't know if that's still the case.

  • what OS should I use instead of xubuntu?

    Jump

  • If you are using Xubuntu 22.04, it should be possible to switch without reinstallation, as Linux Mint and Ubuntu are binary compatible as Mint uses Ubuntu's repos and only adds Mint-specific packages in its own repo.
