    Windows has an entirely different set of objectives.

    I never thought of it this way. My first reaction was “What do you mean ‘different objectives’, they’re both operating systems!” But Windows is an operating system with the objective of making profit for Microsoft. Linux is an operating system with the goal of… being an operating system.

    It really puts it in perspective. Windows (and Mac) can and will only use useful to the consumer up to a point.

    Ignore everyone here saying fix Ubuntu and try Fedora Kinoite (or Silverblue). Bazzite is probably great too if you are gaming but I haven’t tried it.

    I finally tried Fedora Kinoite after years of Ubuntu (and related distros) and I genuinely wish I had tried it sooner. Everything just works. I cannot reccomend it enough. It’s what I always wanted Linux to be.






  • It worked perfectly with Ubuntu until recently. It worked perfectly with Windows and Macintosh. It worked perfectly with Fedora.

    It didn’t work with a fresh install of Ubuntu and several other distros in the same family.

    Now I know what you’re about to say- you’re about to say it could have worked if I had only X Y or Z. But that’s not my point.

    My point is that newbies don’t want to troubleshoot everything.
