Jayb151,

I just installed kubuntu on my daily driver. That didn’t go super well so I tried endeavor, also didn’t go well. It could be kde plasma, but it did not feel like Linux is ready to compete for something that is ready out the box.

That said, I run endeavor on my little netbook tablet and it works a wonder, so no idea. I couldn’t even get steam to load on my desktop for some reason. I tried Linux on my desktop for half a day, then decided to run back to Win11 with my tail between my legs. It just wasn’t with the hassle. Steam didn’t work, permissions for my second hard drive for Plex were messed up. I just didn’t want to have to figure it out. I’m back comfy with windows, and just experimenting with my netbook for the time being.

I really wanted Linux to stick this time… Oddly, I was using Ubuntu on my daily driver back in 2012 without a problem.

AVengefulAxolotl,

Its crazy how polarizing the Linux experience can be. Was it a desktop or laptop? For me it was just a few clicks (Manjaro then Endeavour) on the first try and be done with it on my desktop PC. Also with dual booting.

Hopefully next time you will have more luck! “Sadly” I cannot go back to windows now, I got Linux-pilled. Linux just treats my right without any Microsoft ads.

Jayb151,

Yes, I’m keeping kubuntu on my laptop because it works great. My desktop is going to have to be Windows for now

Anticorp,

Try Pop!_OS, it’s a great operating system and perfect for gaming.

Jayb151,

Honestly, I’m just not a big fan of the DE. I much prefer kde, which is why I went with kubuntu. Still had trouble getting everything to and running though.

Man, I used Ubuntu back on 12.04, but for some reason Linux seems way harder today lol

Anticorp,

You can use KDE on Pop. You can use any DE on any Linux distro, or almost any distro. It’s pretty easy to switch too!

BigTrout75,

Nope. I have to know how fix everyone else’s computer.

ISOmorph,

You’re a nicer person than I am. Being able to (lie and) say “no clue how that works on windows, I use linux” is a freaking blessing

ilinamorato,

Isn’t this like posting “I’m done with meat, are you?” in /c/vegan?

Telodzrum,

I’m done with Windows and YouTube videos that should have been a written post.
