F*ck Windows: move to Fedora or Ubuntu (lemmy.world)

Today, lovely Windows 11 installed an update. And since then I don't have internet access because Microslop Wincrap 11 can somehow magically no longer connect to the DNS server - to any DNS server. No other device in my network has the same issue. I've been bugfixing for over an hour and haven't found a solution. setting the DNS manually, resetting the network adapter, flushed all DNS entries (I used the commandline tool on Windows!). nothing works.

I don't have ANY more patience with W11!

I already tried Linux. I'm using Ubuntu Server for hosting Nextcloud and Fedora just to play around.

Do you prefer Fedora or Ubuntu? I have an old Thinkpad...

(And no, I will not go down the rabbit hole of Arch ;-) At least not for now.)

I’m scared of Arch and cachyOS was the easiest OS install and config I’ve probably ever done. Maybe OSX was easier, but that’s it. It’s sooooo good, and I had zero issues getting everything working perfectly.

Fedora had three big issues and many small. Fedora was actually the worst to get going. My hardcore difficult use cases include playing a video file from my NAS, seeing the music library on there, changing the desktop theme without it going crazy, and not having the aux jack send a huge horrible pop noise to whatever is plugged in when the sound device constantly goes to low power mode.

Both cachy and fedora on the same exact model of machine, both at the same time (two machines, hardware is perfect, also windows 10 LTSC IoT dual boots to them both which worked… as well as windows works I suppose, good enough)
