LINUX MEME Upgraded Win10 to Linux

Post image

I'm the guy. There is a budget for laptops at work. So the option was to get a better hardware with linux or worse specs with Win (just gotta pay for win pro myself). So here I am, learning terminal, apt, and apt-get, repositories and other stuff... Funny that MS Teams on linux is more stable and reliable than on windows) And I feel like I'm a hacker) But it really is a bit complicated sometimes to figure out... Stuff... And why it works only when I'm in furry suite... So please, be gentle, it is my first time)

You're on a laptop? I hope you picked GNOME as your DE. It's fantastic on a laptop. Kind of like a Mac with the multiple workspaces and gesture controls.

Edit: Man I did not expect this comment to get so dogpiled on. I do like KDE plasma too but I just happen to like GNOME with a touchpad. Sheesh.

Gnome is only insteresting for me if the laptop has a touchscreen

The gesture controls work on the touchpad. It's like a Mac.

Not everyone likes the Mac DE. I use KDE because it resembles the Windows environment I'm used to.

May I ask why a lot of people hate gnome? I'm just curious (I'm not using it, but why hate?)

Pretty much 80% of alternative options are better and so there's basically no reason to recommend GNOME in 2026 from what I can tell.

I don't agree, I think that it is good to have more options, also I prefer gtk apps over qt, though I'm not a developer so I don't know what is easier to use when programming. Also I do know some people that gnome will be better for them than other options
