It is less likely to have. But software can still have bugs, big or small. The difference is just how much testing has to be done before you say it is good enough. Immutable dostros were not immune to KDE 6.0 bugs were if you upgrades from KDE 5 it completely broke. The issue were that you had to clear the cache in the users home folder for KDE. See Chris Titus YouTube channel about this were he did exactly this with Immutable distro.
And cloudstike did never happen…
I have Timeshift setup for fast and easy rollback.
Bad updates will happen to any OS. It is about if you want to update fast and having a rollback plan. There are dostros that updates more slow as they actually do their own testing and hence was not affected at all.
For me the lock screen instructions worked fine. The kernel update only broke Ghostty but a workaround fix was available the same day. I could also just have booted into the older kernel from Grub.
This is why arches based distos are taking off. They help with picking packages etc to save time.
There are web extension that check for bookmakers that responds with 404 and automatically deletes them.
This is why you should have file history versioning on. With backup this is a most.
Both KDE and GNOME are good when you compare it to anything Windows have today.
I personally prefer KDE because of much customization support. I have it working with many keyboard shortcuts. I would miss the settings panel in hyperland.
GNOME is simple and elegant. Showing only what is needed. I can really understand people liking it. I like but just miss some small details like the keyboard shortcuts thing and focusing etc. How GNOME works is different mindset which O just have not learned. But GNOME looks good and have everything covered.
Xfc and lxd just need some more love from the developers. There are very few of them so I completely understand. Money issue.
Microsoft makes all the decisions for you.
Try using a virtual machine before doing a full switch
I was surprised to see him promoting Linux as well. People should not be shy about this.
Very impressive the amount of years it was supported.
I think on laptops Windows i trying to encrypt the drives. Maybe online if you are logged in to a Microsoft account for bitlocker to save the encryption key. Encrypting the drives should be your decision to take.
Mandriva. Yes, old and no longer exist. Forst distro i started to to use permantly on desktop is Fedora. The server has always been Ubuntu since the Mandriva time when I first learned about Linux. I think 2005. CS server etc. Desktop was 2024 when MS screwed up Windows too much
I like they give the option!
Since I am dualbooting just to be able to check if it is a software issue or not in. Then i dont know what I would choose. Mainly use Linux. It is fun when I figure out the headset problem is a cable were the connections are 20 cm away from each other since it is hanging from the table.
I am on Fedora. But i still have Windows dual boot left. But I dont use Windows 10 that often - I don’t see the need. I just have it as a backup OS. I have free enough diskspace on my SSD so currently not doing anything.
Configuration gui standard. Usually there is a config file that I am suppose to edit as root and usually done in the terminal.
There should be a general gui tool that read those files and obey another file with the rules. Lets say it is if you enable this feature then you can’t have this on at the same time. Or the number has to be between 1 and 5. Not more or less on the number. Basic validation. And run the program with --validation to let itself decide if it looks good or not.
Timeshift for snapshots and deja backups for files
The user can choose. Please note you first much accept another client by its fingerprint.
Yes, you can optimize a lot. Especially with Linux. I did the same and even started to replace program that did too much, bloated, with my own programs. To speed up the development I did it with AI and Cursor.
No. I dont want that. Look for something that I actually want and try not to add it to the Google graveyard.
I think this is good. This means increased competition and that the none compatible Windows computers can keep running without going to the trash bin - better for the environment.
