6 months ago I went from Windows 10 to Linux Mint 21.3 since then I've upgraded to Linux Mint 22. At that time I also changed web browsers from Edge to Firefox and I went from Windows Office to Libre Office. Since I'm a lightweight user I haven't had any problems. I'm sure if I was a gamer or power user I'd have a horror story or two to tell but since I'm not, it's all been gravy.

One of the most important points that new users should pay attention to it, before switching to Linux is to "be patient". Be patient to adapt.

- UDF is a filesystem for optical medias (DVD / CD /BD).
- For appimage also note, that this format can be used on Linux without knowing the root password.

I'm very grateful that Linux exists. I appreciate it very much.

Tom, thank you so much! I wasn't aware of that hardware testing site! Lol, I wish I would have known about it two weeks ago. Better late than never I guess!

I dipped my toe into the Linux world a year and a half ago. I started off with Zorin. Sadly, it took just a few weeks for its updater to go stupid. So, I opted to try Linux Mint. Been there ever since. I have had a very smooth experience with Mint. I still have a Win 10 machine around for those things I can't get working on Linux. That machine isn't on very often. I would say if you are a bit computer savvy and want to exit the Windows world, start off with Mint. I have enjoyed learning the Linux world.

I love the comments on the Linux Terminal. When I am using Windows, I have a CMD prompt on the screen somewhere. I think in words, thus the terminal and I understand each other.

So, in summary: As we know, there are five known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.

I recommend Gentoo to any new user reading this since Linux Mint is just too hard.






Sike!

I wish you'd talk about Zorin_OS a bit more as it is probably the easiest switch for basic - average users, yes, even more so than Mint Cinnamon (I use both daily). It is what I'm planning to install for my 80-something year old Dad. You don't need to use the terminal as much as you do with Mint, and you will be prompted when there is new software available for your machine. The app store is simple and easy to use, and Libre Office and many other programs are ready to use out of the box. As I'm running the same system, I can supervise him once a month to do terminal updates and upgrades with a video call. I'd love to see you do a deep-dive into Zorin_OS, after giving it a daily drive for a while. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Viable alternatives? There's only one alternative, viable or not! 😞

Things that kept me from coming to linux! being a novelist at best with linux you go to website too many and choices, you choose one and it move to a new page and there's more choices, finally you see the link to download and it goes to another page, you never get your download, come make it simple.
never confined right drivers always, if you want to compete with Windows you need to copy the ease of windows. bottom line it's confusing to setup.

Windows 11 Pro is good as long as you build your installation media with Chris Titus' winutil.

If you want to play Apache Webserving and MySeekHell adventure games then Linux is a good option.

You missed one, everything can be done in linux, but almost EVERYTHING costs 2x + the amount of time and their is a skill floor

Windows is pure shite now.
Avoid 24H2 like the plague.

Windows can have problems, but offering an alternative with more problems than Windows is not a realistic solution.
