  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Linux is not user friendly, not sure why you are dead set on installing it anyways. You will be lost with it.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It has matured alot to be more user friendly but you need patience to get a understanding of it

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, Lol. Linux is user friendly if you find a suitable distro for your needs. The interfaces are much similar to Windows, so I bet most people will find it easier.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Tutorials exist out there for doing the rest.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I read Ubuntu and Linux mint are the most user friendly ones

  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    I'm not sure what you mean @Xdqwerty. You can run linux under windows through a virtual machine or through the wsl. Linux itself has "Window Managers" which put applications in non fullscreen windows
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Honestly you just need patience and reading ability. I've install arch linux several times on a vm but I can't really test it out because the vm is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Plazorn, Yeah , thats what I meant, running Linux in a window and not in fullscreen. Also it ran very poorly on a virtual machine
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But unless you have a real reason to use it, I don't see a reason to switch to it from windows. Yea just use VM and try it first.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I said it ran poorly with vm
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Depends on if your PC could do it. There are settings to use the CPU natively and adjust the graphics memory which does quite improve it a bit.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Just look at the amount of SteamDeck nerds out there that know how to use it ;O
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Plazorn, and I don't think my PC has a wsl
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It has a hamster
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    But why go through the effort of having Linux inside of a VM, whereas you could have a multiboot installation or replace your pre-existing OS with Linux.

    @SylverReZ I have all of the speed options enabled. Also 512 gb ssd pain

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, It requires installing an update to enable WSL in Win 10/11.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Only thing I gotta do with this laptop is put in a 2tb ssd came with 512 🤮

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I might just try it on a live USB and then install it with multiboot
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I only have one ssd slot
  • Izanagi_No_Okami @ Izanagi_No_Okami:
    @K3Nv2 Can you switch SSD in laptops? I thought they were soldered in most of the times
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Maybe it'd be faster if I didn't use kde plasma
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    @Izanagi_No_Okami, look at specs before buying usually says emc or something
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or on board storage
