Installing Linux is a walk in the park whereas windows is a Hilarious clown show from hell with no end.
As a server maybe. Switching everything on my desktop to Linux has been a constant fight against all kinds of problems and there's several things I haven't been able to get working at all. Microsoft's constant enshittification is closing the gap and it's currently a tossup between which one I'm going to land on but that's not Linux improving so much as Windows getting worse.
It's very hardware dependent with a few problem's like Nvidia. For Best results go established brands that support Linux like thinkpads.

ROFL no. I once knew someone who got offered an upgrade from whatever to Windows 10, only for it to fail half way through because their CPU was some weird corner case that the OS thought it supported but when it was time to boot... didn't.
Also if you want to talk e-waste, look no further than Chromebooks.
Windows 11 has problems, this is hardly one of them.

That advice doesn't help much when I already have all the hardware. The whole point is not having to buy new shit.

The whole schtick is you have actual ownership and control of your software. You literally just have a Windows license and in that license you have no power or control over your OS. Microsoft is definitely spying on you at this point, no question about that anymore.
I am sensing some serious anti-linux projections. If you don't like it, don't use it. If you don't like people talking about it, don't use Lemmy and go to Reddit where there are tons of Windows bros who dunk on Linux all day.
Point is: Your full of it and you probably want to ruin Lemmy like Reddit got ruined so you can feel comfortable in your chosen OS. Follow the granny rule, if you don't have something positive to say just shut the fuck up.

Nice gatekeeping... people like you are why these platforms are never taking off.
My home server runs debian, my main PC runs windows 11, and I have an iPhone and it all works very well. I don't like circlejerks, they're stupid, specially when they're loudly incorrect.
Lemmy has a massive circlejerk problem to the point that you can't even mention using proprietary stuff because you get screamed at by keyboard warriors.

Exactly, I have a bunch of weird issues when running Linux on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX3060. So unfortunately I w9nt be switching until the situation improves.
It's not even about gaming either, virtually all animations are like 2fps, no matter the drivers or power management. I wasted days on this with some guys from the Lenovo Legion Linux discord server, and some with exactly the same laptop don't have the same issue, but windows runs fine.
It's a real shame that, maybe on the next laptop!

Pretty sure this guy didn’t use Linux twenty years ago. Outside of very basic computing, Linux wasn’t very useful.
I've been running Linux exclusively since 2001 or so. It was rough around the edges back then, but it was useful enough for what I needed.
You had to choose a good distro on that note; redhat, mandrake, etc broke on me so many times, and I was only able to fully switch after finding slackware, which was rock solid.

Chromebooks sound good in theory but fall short because kids are great at breaking them and there is a lack of repairability.
There is also chromeos being kinda ass

This may come to shock you but not everyone has the same experiences as you.
Which is why I asked you for some sources for your claims. I told you my experience and that I’d never heard of what you’re saying happened.
So do you have any sources or did you just make it up?

I think you're confusing Lemmy's alignment to freedom and the common good with a circle jerk. Most of us are here because we don't want to be bound by the limits of centralized, proprietary social networks, how can you be surprised that the people here try to make the same choice in other aspects of their lives?

Is your model covered by a NixOS module?
nixos-hardware/lenovo/legion at master · NixOS/nixos-hardware
A collection of NixOS modules covering hardware quirks. - nixos-hardware/lenovo/legion at master · NixOS/nixos-hardware

Could give one of these a twirl and see if it fixes the issues you've been seeing.

Strange cause that must be bricked according to the person I replied to lol
Apple are shithouses under Cook, but they're not that bad.
Yet.

Seriously. If you're used to fiddling with Windows and especially if you have installed Windows recently, go try something like Linux Mint. Just the install process will blow your mind. And then wait until you get a system update and it doesn't affect what you're doing!
And you can say no if you want to!

I'm pretty hesitant to find the time to install and learn Linux but I'm VERY hesitant to upgrade to Win11. I'm having trouble understanding what the selling point for it is over Win10. I feel like it used to be clear and exciting to upgrade but they've managed to make this feel sort of dreadful.
Well yeah, w11 has no selling point, that's why they're forcing you to switch by removing support by autumn 2025

But what if we already use Linux? Can we still have some cookies? Or is this new users only?
You can have them, just click accept all on the cookie pop up.

what a bizare take to suggest hoping for ReactOS to mature before using Linux as daily driver. A lot of the current reactOS app compatibility depends on WINE implementation anyway.
ReactOS is a very fun project, but anyone expecting it to be a real useable OS is absolutely mad. It's been going for almost 30 years, and they're almost at the point of binary compatibility with Windows Server 2003...

Thanks for the lead, but I'm afraid I don't know what to do with these modules. Do they only work with NixOS?

Linux security is not perfect, nothing is. But compared to windows security? Come on, seriously? Is .exe still the extension that'll automatically execute a program?
I'm not sure this is anywhere near what a security comparison would look like.
And the fact that the traditional Unix security model is being augmented with ACLs and selinux and what not hints, that it's not sufficient. And what these things are being used for is, well, similar to Windows security model.

Last I checked it didnt play very nicely in real hardware, and required running it in a VM

Idk about the lack of repairability, those things are really easy and cheap to fix in my experience. They are at least no less repairable than 95% of laptops on the market.

I couldn't bear to make e-waste, so I repaired two c.~2012 era chromebooks earlier this year. The end result was equal parts rewarding experience and a complete was of my time xD. Those sandy bridge cpus are sloooow

Google has sharply reduced its support for nonprofit groups devoted to DEI, in what appears to be another sign that the company is falling in line with President Trump’s anti-DEI crusade.
