the overwhelmingly large majority of people want to use

you state this as fact yet my experience has been that people hate using windows for its UI on handhelds and only tolerate it because everything's made for it. that's not a shining point for windows, quite the opposite.

the steam deck surpassed a million devices sold - so while over 50% of people probably still want windows, i wouldn't say its an "overwhelming" majority. tons of people clearly like valve's take on linux even despite its limitations

Wouldn't be a proper week without a leak on a War Thunder forum

What I did to learn was basically trying to mimic my Windows install in terms of programs and features. I installed games I played often onto Linux and learned basic software installation and Proton by doing that, then I installed some productivity apps (mostly their Linux equivalents, not the exact ones) and learned to use those, and then did some customizing. Not everything works, at least well (VR for example), so I dual-boot still

I'd also recommend pulling up the terminal to do some basic stuff to get used to it, like using sudo apt install for some select programs, ls and cd for file navigation, etc. You won't need the terminal for daily use in mist distros, but it'll be important sometimes

Also, if you choose Mint like I ~~shill for~~ recommend, searching the forum has proven useful in my experience

I know this is a joke but I wanna hijack this comment to say you could spread out the housing a little to not be apartments but still only take like 30%

its why people say "fascism is capitalism in decline", germany and italy saw massive government involvement in businesses: not to control or regulate them, but to bail them out.

i just started listening to blackshirts and reds so i wanted to butt in lol
