Probably 1,5 months ago. I used Fedora 38 - to be fair I was really impressed with how far gaming has gotten. Basically anything I trew at it just worked (big F for Rust). However my audio kept breaking when switching application’s which I could only fix by restarting. Besides that I was really annoyed by Fedora somehow not picking up my second display from time to time. No idea what happened but every like 20 restarts my second display wouldn’t work, or games suddenly started to display on my second display instead of my main. These where probably the biggest things for me, besides some applications I use for debugging not being supported on Linux. Anyhow I’ll probably try Linux again in a couple of months, maybe another distro, since I do really enjoy programming on Linux.
What do you think about Zorin? It’s Ubuntu in a Windows Skin if I remember correctly, so target audience are Windows and Mac OS users who want to switch.
Been daily driving Zorin a few months now. Once I got past three very large hardware-related hurdles (that unfortunlatey would be impossible for normal users), it has been much better than Windows. I do recommend it if you’re like the middle guy in the meme (but not conservative lol)
Well my mother , who is in her 50s was studying for a course two years back , so i booted my old PC with linux mint and gave it to her , for libre office , some browser stuff and pdf etc, the thing it is just worked , and as a programmer I love how i get things done easily via terminal !

I would suggest using something easier like Linux Mint next time you give Linux a try.
I recommend Linux Mint, it’s very user friendly. And it’s based on Ubuntu, meaning almost every Ubuntu guide works for it as well.
I’ll look into it!! Haven’t got much todo anyway right now since my summer break just started.

75% of users use only the browser, and maybe the downloads folder of their file explorer. OS basically doesn’t matter as long as they have that.
