Original question by @NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world
I have used linux in a past job (I did not set it up), so im not a total noob with linux. But I am far from an expert. I bought a tablet that had a flavor of linux on it and found myself woefully unprepared trying to navigate the tablet. I was planning to use it for DnD for pdf reading, but it apparently wasn’t capable of that bcz it was a rather custom OS. With windows 10 support being dropped by Microsoft in the next few months, I want to transition my desktop to Linux, and I thought I’d get a headstart on that. I have a windows 11 laptop (and I hate it), but im kinda stuck with it for now. So, in the spirit of I am a noob who isn’t quite a noob, what do ya’ll recommend? p.s. I used Ubuntu for a bit way way back in high school
@cm0002 I was actually kind of Sad to see Windows 7 die, it was one of the lesser bloated operating systems Microsoft produced, certainly superior to Windows-95 and Windows 98. Really, if Windows 3.11 had a built in network stack, I would have been happy to stay with that, so far as my Windows usage goes, though my computer spends 99% of it’s time in Linux.
