This is amazing!

(And even a rare OpenSUSE mention!)

If only switching was this fun

I thought it was fun for the first 10minutes when I wasn't trying to get back to parity with my Windows install lmao. Wore off real fast. Nothing that 3 weeks of crawling the internet and typing in literal gibberish into the terminal can't fix.

Except for the stuff I haven't fixed, and band-aided into working. But it's minor stuff lol.

I don't know if I was lucky or my needs were simpler but moving to Linux for me was a breeze… and that was like 15 years ago

956@piefed.social · 2 pts · 127d (4 replies)

I'd assume simpler? My issues have been with setting up software and peripherals, not necessarily with Linux itself, especially when there isn't official Linux support for those devices. So it shouldn't really be a knock on Linux, but that's kinda the point of the comparison; I can do 95% of what I do on Windows with some effort, and then I don't have to deal with Windows. I've still really been enjoying it!

Well, don't suffer alone... I find the Linux community is 100x nicer to deal with than any Microslop forum I have ever seen (all they do is gaslight you)

If you get stuck, someone out there probably knows the answer

I've gotten through most of it, it's more little issues that I can't solve because it requires terminal stuff, and it just isn't bothersome enough currently to require fixing. Plenty of head v wall also works; I can't remember if I mentioned it here, but it took me quite a while to get a heavily modded version of Skyrim running, but I managed it eventually. I think part of my issue is the terminal doesn't always provide feedback, so some of the commands idk if they worked. So if I didn't know if they worked, I wouldn't know if I did them or not lol. So just very intentional, methodical work through manual installs got me sorted out.

Once I get around to it, I'll get the last few details ironed out and just hope nothing breaks later on! Lmao

I hear you... the rule of thumb here is that you only get feedback when:

you requested it in the command issued
there is an error in the execution of the command

Other than that, if you just got the prompt back, it meant the command did what it was supposed to and had no errors. It was hard to get used to that hahahaha

956@piefed.social · 2 pts · 127d

Noted. Lmao honestly, even if I knew that, I still would have had issues with the mod installs I think, but either way! I'm just happy to be here and it feels like a triumph when I get shit to work, whereas with Windows, I was just in a bad mood afterwards lol

This, but these days I’d give you guys a better and more modern advice: find a spare device to play with Linux. Get that cheap or even free laptop from someone who cannot use it, because it’s too slow and unusable. Swap the HDD with SSD, if that’s the case (modern laptops have SSDs already, usually). Install Linux there, explore. Test all your workflows. Then don’t play with dual boot thing, don’t waste your time. Just forget Windows, you’ll be surprised anyone uses it, it’ll take you a year at best, if you can do all your tasks on Linux. Not all tasks can be done with Linux, but most of them, and more coming. The more of us use the platform, the more valuable it becomes for other developers to target.
