@DistroJunkie Could be worse. I've seen computers at my nearby institution of higher learning still using Windows XP.
@AvnSgt @dpreacher I've used i3 as my DE for nearly 2 years now. Once you get i3 configured--and it isn't that arduous a process--it runs smoothly.
Lawrence OttHave you ever experienced that feeling, where you feel like the desktop gets in your way, or is too distracting? Go minimalist with a tiling DE like i3. I did it, and I now question why, I never tried something like years ago. 😎 This is not a knock against other DEs, cause I really like Budgie, Gnome, and Plasma. But, there is something about i3 that is just better in some ways.
Pinguinguy@oswriter I converted my dad from windows 10 to GNU/Linux because of all the problems he had using it, and made 2 cousins start using GNU/Linux as their first computer operating system on the laptops i got them.
RafiLinux@oswriter Maybe. My father's side of the family converted quickly. They just want to use their computer and be done with the heavy maintenance that Windows or Mac entailed. A few BBQs and party events with Linux on my main machine, HTPC, laptop and they coverted pretty fast. I keep them all on LTS distros. My lady and kids also use Linux and I think when ppl see them using it that also helps.
@DistroJunkie I installed OpenBSD in a VM last night for testing and overall liked the setup. Of course, running it on a bare metal is something else entirely, as I learned from my FreeBSD experiments.
I had a chance to try the new #Solus Budgie testing ISO last night. As a non-Budgie user, I was impressed with the changes @ikey & the team have made.
Indeed, every time I use Solus Budgie I think, "This is what Ubuntu could have been had Canonical not gone down the 'convergence' rabbit hole." Alas, that's what what happens when marketing and branding concerns dictate your decision-making process.
@DistroJunkie Since your name is DistroJunkie, I'm going to grant you a special exemption. :-)
Happy Ikey Liberation Day, everyone! #Solus
