If something like KDE Neon came preinstalled on a PC they'd be fine tbh. It's the act of having to install a thing that makes it undesirable

You will have a really bad time on Windows with 4GB ram and 64GB storage, though.

Hated to see it, but he was not playing well. Pleasantly surprised to see how good Phaedra is at this game. For her to make it as far as she did with such damning evidence against her is impressive! Though I wonder if the Bravo girls weren't keeping her because they KNOW she's a traitor in the back of their mind. Increases their odds at the final.

100%. Reddit killed the vibe for the people that appreciate it the most.

Definitely this is huge. Proton and the respective Wine advancements are exactly what needed to happen. And the headlines about some games running better on Linux really gives it a good look.

This! Gnome is absolutely a foil to adoption. Everyone I've seen try to start with Ubuntu has bounced right off back to Windows. You're already wrapping your head around a new OS, you do not need an entirely new desktop paradigm.

So happy Valve went with the setup they did.

I would install Manjaro. It runs KDE, which is super familiar, and maybe more polished than Windows. And it is Arch-based, which means you have access to AUR apps, which makes finding programs super easy. It's like if the MS app store actually had every program on it.

Keeping the explanations simple.

Don't start with Ubuntu/Gnome. The desktop is way too weird, and app repository is limited.

Don't start with Mint or Cinnamon or LxDE. Linux nerds will recommend these, but they feel "old" and are not really lighter on resources than KDE.

Highly recommend Arch-based distros. AUR feels like a miracle coming from the Windows paradigm of tracking down installer EXEs and MSIs.

I think the spotlight on KDE from Steam Deck definitely helps. It's polished as shit, and it acts like Windows by default, and that is a good thing.

We just had a president calling up state leaders to try and reject the winner of the election.

No one took him up on it, primarily because there was no legal basis to do so.

If a state can remove a nominee before the election even starts, that would NOT be good for us. We've seen time and time again how political factions will use any leeway they have to solidify power.
