So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... - lemm.ee

… as explained here [https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/11/24127497/microsoft-windows-10-upgrade-prompt-windows-11]. Basically Microsoft presents this “incredible” product, and then says in the same breath: “Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?” Really!? 😠 If only Linux were ready for mainstream use…

What is it specifically about Linux that doesn’t work for you?

I’m asking because I’ve been using it for almost a quarter of a century as my main desktop.

Not the perspn you responded to, but just to serve as another data point: mostly just exhaustion. I am a full-time software developer, so I don’t want to deal with configurations and set up complex systems at a home. That’s why I haven’t gotten into any smart-home stuff, either - I just don’t have the bandwidth to deal with the issues that come with.

Not sure how long ago you tried installing linux, but it has come a long way such that there are distros out there that are basically plug-and-play installable now. I installed Linux Mint on an old laptop and just went through the gui installer like you would on a Windows installation, and it was up and running. Didn’t need to open the terminal even once.

How is Linux Mint for gaming? Does it still have input delay?

Been using LM for gaming the past 5 years. Never noticed input delay once in the 5 years I’ve been using LM. Or perhaps I’m just slow in the head?
