Honestly? Surface Pro tablets. I have an OG 1st gen one with Ubuntu on it with the Surface kernel and it works fantastic! Just make sure you go with the vanilla Gnome desktop and not Ubuntu’s modified version and a better on screen keyboard extension for best results. The default OSK is shit. KDE Plasma is also good but I feel it lacks in stylus support and decent on screen keyboard.

LOL! True!

“Aaawww! You need medical help? You want to see a doctor? You need medication? OFF TO THE FIELDS WITH YOU!”

LOL! The guy said the trade deal that was made between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (USMCA) was done by an idiot and had to be re-done.

That was HIS DEAL! HE WROTE IT!!!

Did he take accountability? Of course not!

I’m taking advantage of the steam summer sale to basically re-buy most of my Switch games for PC at cheap prices just for that.

Isn’t there a Linux distro for Mac?

👆 This.

“Oh you’re inciting violence.”

Yes I am. Because MAGAts are already shooting up gay bars and clubs, assaulting and killing elected democrat politicians and holding fucking neo-Nazi marches against the LGBT. The Trump administration is already using violence. They’re sending ICE to kidnap both legal and illegal immigrants that have constitutional rights and sending them to prisons in foreign countries without a warrant or even a trial. They’re sending the fucking national guard and the matines against your asses and building alligator Alcatraz to hold you there. And Trump and his goons are saying the Supreme Court judges can’t stop him if he does anything illegal or unconstitutional. He’s gone full dictator.

If that’s not reason enough for people to start bearing arms, then I don’t know what does and you guys and everybody else in the world are fucked.

If YOU don’t bear arms, soon I’ll have to, in order to kill your asses when you start invading Canada. And I swear to you that I won’t hesitate to pull that trigger.

It’s a fucking mess I tell ya. They put all the effort into spying on their users instead of making the actual OS function.

The rounded corners thing is definitely all about individual taste. my brain just likes to have the whole space filled. The rounded corners for me feels so… 2000’s Windows XP/ Early GNOME.

The start menu thing, yeah you can configure it. And no, before Windows 8, I think, there used to be a Gao of a few pixels around the start button if I remember well.

And as for the start menu tiles, again that’s all individual taste I guess, but I sincerely think that ergonomically speaking, it is better.

And I really don’t get it.

People were used to the multi-level app menu in Windows 7 and before. The tiled menu might have been too much of a change. But it made sense. Less frequently used applications could have smaller icons and more commonly used one have bigger icons so they’re easier to find and click. It was great ergonomically speaking.

The people were wrong! lol

Ah yes, it does happen when I have an extra monitor. I’ll try it next time.

Thanks!

LOL!

I have Win 11 at work and I hate it so much for so many reasons I don’t even know where to start.

I know it’s the trend right now, but I hate rounded corners for one. I like having my whole desktop real estate to be used. And the shrunken floating taskbar is a GUI ergonomic nightmare. I want to just throw my cursor into a corner without looking and click with the confidence that it will open my start menu.

Speaking of which, my task bar keeps freezing every day I use it so my system tray and even the time is never accurate.

The start menu is a fucking mess. I really loved the Windows 10 start menu with its tiles and groups. Now you have to manually pin everything, it’s all small icons and you can’t have them in groups. You have to create sub-folders to put the icons in, adding an extra click for nothing.

I hate that it comes with an integrated AI and I hate that it has this privacy nightmare “recall” feature or whatever the fuck that takes sreenshots of your monitor to feed its AI.

I went 100% Linux last fall with Kubuntu. I added a tiled menu and even added Windows 10 style window decorations to complete the look and feel.

With the latest advancements in Steam, Wine and Proton, which has been able to play every game I threw at it so far, it’s become such a powerful OS.

I’ve never been happier!

Isn’t any GNU-only open source free as in speech distro already that?

Your first mistake was using OpenOffice.

Try LibreOffice instead. Or one of these.

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. You have no idea how much the Linux desktop experience has improved just in the past 10, or even 5 years. There’s been LEAPS in advancement and Windows compatibility. It gets easier to use by the day. And Steam deciding to use Linux for its gaming devices is one proof of that.

In addition, this adoption means there will be much higher demand for new features and functionality, and potentially greater bug discovery. And there will be an increased involvement in the development and improvement from European countries to achieve these goals. Which will lead to an even faster growth and improvement of Linux in general.

So? You still get the updates sooner or later.

What enshittification? It’s one of the best distributions out there!
