Status. 2 x #mint #linux installiert.
Das alte Notebook zickt noch. Da komme ich nochmal drauf zurück. Heute aber nimmer (wifi funktioniert erst nach ein/aus der Funkverbindung nach dem Systemstart)☺️
Dafür auf dem 4C 3,5GHz Intel NUC gleich noch PW Manager, cloud Sync App und #vmware Workstation installiert. #LibreOffice kam gleich mit .
Aber ich bin begeistert. Startzeit und Bedienbarkeit bei dem alten Intel i3 2C 2,2GHz Notebook mit jetzt SSD drin ist echt annehmbar.
Und der NUC geht steil.

Warum Menschen 2025 in Scharen zu Linux wechseln

Der Linux-Desktop verzeichnet weiterhin ein langsames, aber stetiges Wachstum. Linux gewinnt an Boden, nicht zuletzt aufgrund der Fehltritte von Microsoft Windows. Sowohl Nutzer als auch Regierungen verlieren zunehmend das Vertrauen in Windows und Microsoft.

CHECK BELOW FOR MIGRATION Apr 17

I’ve been looking at the Zorin OS 18.1 release and it’s a reminder that the desktop doesn't actually have to be a constant fight.

Not my daily driver, but I have some thoughts on why this specific release stands out for anyone looking to migrate.

Zorin OS 18.1: A Strong Case for Linux

Zorin OS 18.1 isn’t just another distro. It’s a sensible starting point for anyone tired of Windows getting in the way. Less friction, more control.

Stuck on Windows 10 for essential systems? Microsoft’s extended security updates might be a lifeline—but only if you meet strict eligibility and deal with rising costs. Curious how it all comes together?

Why do some Linux distros include by default features that are hard to use like multiple shortcuts to console and "open as root" in the right click menu?

Never used it myself, but I can recommend this website for self-learning the basics of Linux: https://linuxjourney.com/

I can also try my best to answer any questions anyone may have about Linux.

As an aside, I'd recommend Linux Mint for beginners due to its resemblance to Windows and ease of use with many built-in graphical tools. ZorinOS is also another one with an optional premium version.

For new users, unless they're more used to a MacOS-style interface, I'd actually advise to keep away from #GNOME as its interface will be confusing to (former) Windows users.

https://zorin.com/os/

This blog post by ZorinOS may also be of some help: https://blog.zorin.com/2025/05/28/windows-10-is-reaching-its-end-of-life/

Feel free to DM me if you want any clarification or understanding, or just reply to this comment.

For those that are slightly savvy, I'd recommend the Debian Handbook. It definitely requires some knowledge and there are some debian-specific components of it, but it helps with a general understanding of how Linux itself works:

So, moved a Windows 10 machine (which I have not used in a year after moving to Linux on desktop) to a virtual machine.

Key thing if you do this with an existing install is you have to copy your "Windows product key" to activate that new image. They hide it from you.

(EDIT: IF you are already running Linux on the machine, forget all the fancy stuff below and type:

sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

This will print out that license code)

Instructions below copied from a Microsoft forum.
