It looks good, things work out of the box and it's stable. CLI use is minimal, perfect for newbs. Besides that it can keep grandma's laptop running. So yeah pretty decent OS.

Yesterday I got shit for supporting ZorinOS Pro. So I guess paying for FOSS.

It seems donations are okay, but when distros frame it as a Pro Version purchase then the FOSS peeps get pissed. Even though no one could point out what's actually being locked behind the pro version, because spoiler: nothing is locked behind it.

Oooeh this is one is gonna piss off a lot of lemmings. This is one of those hard echo chamber topics that haunt Lemmy.

Also don't mention religion, that will also twist a lot of panties on here

Can you explain what IP is? Abbreviations don't mean anything if you don't know it.

[–] HotCoffee@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Nah people just frame it as if you need to buy it, while that's not true. No I'm not defending scummy practices, I'm just pro supporting software that you enjoy. That people like you can't handle others opinions and immediately resort to calling it "fanboy or useful idiot." The world doesn't need to be a copy pasta of opinions

What does zorin lock behind the pro version? Some themes that you could make yourself if you wanted. And they package some apps that you could manualy download. What updates are you refering to?

Once again like Zorin, it isn't required to use the base version. Projects take time and effort, support is optional. Debian also has a donation page gonna distrohop now too?

They don't force you to buy anything. Almost all distros have a donation button on their site/git.

Nothing wrong with supporting projects you adore.

Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad

Been through the same situation. Find a distro that you like, any decently user friendly distro will handle setting up the dual boot for you.

No need to reinstall games etc, just make sure you partition has enough storage for linux and pick that part during the install.

After that start slowly transitioning your games to linux. In steam toggle the compatibility setting, this will try to run proton over your games. Then only boot into windows when its necessary for VR/online games.

 

Wondering which forks Lemmings are using. With LibreWolf I get a lot of captchas. Mercury last release, v.129.0.2 , is from 2024?

Or would just using a hardening file like Betterfox be the best option? I am on Ubuntu....
