I tried, as a non-techie, to use a Linux-based laptop. Hated it. Gave it away to a techie friend...sigh.

not exactly running arch
Did you try Mint or Zorin? They are user friendly especially for people coming from Windows
It is
Just did my second install on extra computer. Love it. Never going back!
Ever since switching to Debian I am never looking back and am mad at myself for not switching sooner.
It is on mine.
Windows 11 is virtually forcing people to use Linux whether they want to or not. It's kind of amazing actually 🙂
I just ordered a framework laptop and i'm going to try again lol
All those years, it has been true for me ,😍
I imagine that someday the dollar will force people into Bitcoin whether they want to or not and X will force people into nostr whether they want to or not.
I always like to tell people that their favorite stock is always one bad CEO away from going to zero. The same can be said about any centralized permissioned platform. This is why decentralized, open source tech will win in the long run.
Every year since 2000 has been the year of Linux on my desktop (well, okay, many of those years were laptop only).
Not gonna say I'd be sad to see the ability to run the full version of Excel on it natively too (is Excel without PowerQuery, Power Pivot, and DAX even Excel?) but the nice thing is, you can run multiple computers. Or go totally nuts and run QubesOS, though IDK who has time for all that (especially with the GPU passthrough for native hardware use by the Windows instance). Maybe I'll get more time for such things when the hardware is faster and Bitcoin is at $10M+...
Been using Linux since the 90's, these days my flavor is Qubes.
You do know that Linux is slowly heading towards the Apple Microsoft and Google's same playbook strategy right? Similar to what Bitcoin Core is doing with bitcoin right now. The bitcoin core vs knots saga. And also the Google android apk thingy starting next year. Yupp! That's right. Corporations are also slowly closing all the exits on Linux os. Linus resignation was the key indicator. Linux Foundation is not the same Linux Foundation back in the 90s. And don't get me started with Canonical , Flatpak, Snap , Wayland , Pipewire , Systemd , Rust and only god knows...what other ' linux cancer ' corporations have in mind to be spread in the entire Linux eco-system.
😂👌
THIS IS THE WAY
simply use it and get over this already.
Fr? Qubes has been miserable everytime I've tried
Just for the record I've had a Linux machine alongside my various Macs for probably 15 years running without fail... except for the times my linux machine eats shit and it takes me a week to bring it back to life 🤣

I also run Debian on a macbookair from 2011, just perfect!
it's coming #soon
What's wrong with pipewire?
Yes
I got introduced to Debian when building up my CLN node. (Thanks @semisol and @sathoarder) and then decided to install it onto my old dell laptop. Not a single regret man. I have Debian13 on my laptop and it is amazing.
Arch with hyprland 🔛🔝
😂🤣😂
Is it ? #Linux #2025

Where can I bet on this with leverage
Not really. Can you go into a mainstream tech store and find even one Linux laptop on display?
Widespread #Linux adoption is not a technical matter, it's a business one. Until we get large entrepreneurs on board, #YotLD will never come.
