Windows 10 support is coming to an end in 4 months.

What distros should we suggest to people migrating over. Mint is the most popular ever suggested to newbs, but what about alternatives.

So 4 months to get my new rig ordered, built, and put on Linux.

what is LTSC for 500 Alex?

you can literally go to Windows general help thread and get LTSC for free, why would anyone need to migrate?

what happens if you just stay on windows 10?

>>105637090
You get raped

>>105637101
will she be cute?

Why can't techvegans ever shut the fuck up?

I cant use mint or linux because the desktop it's absolute garbage. There's no good linux desktop environment comparable to windows.

The file picker is garbage on mint. Nemo is garbage. It doesnt even generate proper thumbnails when you use the filepicker. Some are the default icon and there's no grid or icon view and MTP file transfer thumbnails are completely broken.

You know for someone who has to constantly transfer files from my phone often over a gigabyte uses MTP often its garbage when you cant see which photos you're picking. Something that has been on windows forever.

Honestly if mint fixed the garbage file picker and photo thumbnail support I could tolerate everything else.
That's why people dont switch to linux. It's the bad software support, broken desktops, broken updates and packages and basic features that dont work on linux.

...KDE is *right* there???????

>>105636211

Run by conmand setup.exe /product server

Ubuntu is unironically the only option.

>>105636211
Back when KDE was actually good.

>>105637090
Nothing, all the fear mongering is psychological and based on assumptions and wild guesses.
t. updootes ignorer

lmfao
some old bitch at my work thinks that the day after windows drops support that russians and chinese are gonna hack her pc

idk I've only ever used debian arch and mint long term, so debian I guess if you don't need nvidia drivers less than 2 years old. that's basically the only difference doe

the longer you stay on an unsupported OS, the more security vulnerabilities will pile up and the less compatible software you'll find.
look at windows 7 these days, there's still a few autists running it, and they need workarounds for literally every modern application.

>>105638933
**supports cli tools in your $PATH**

>>105639021
that doesnt make them any less stupid but fine use your snaps

>>105639021
>flatpaks but worse and proprietary

Fedora kde or mint I'd say. Ubuntu if you like their version. Easier running always worth more then tinkering

>>105636071 (OP)
Windows 11 Enterprise Edition

>>105639443
Do I really need to point out how insane it is to want to be the #1 app distribution method for Linux but only supporting graphical apps?

>>105639709
>#1 app distribution
and yet it is. the thing about cli apps is that they are usually very small and have little dependencies, and that's when they're not glorified scripts, so their distribution isn't nearly as problematic.
so yeah, flatpaks for them would be nice, and i'm sure it'll happen eventually, but it's not necessary by any account.

>>105636071 (OP)
Just get mint, very stable, lots of support.

go install loonix you subhuman nigger sack of shit
we dont want you on windows

no thanks i'll be sticking to win7

>>105636071 (OP)
just tell them to stay on 10. You can easily pirate ESU updates (or if you are moraltroon, pay for them) if they care. Most essential software will support 10 for years to come. If they have at least a decent 2nd/3rd gen HW, you can show them how to install 11 on it just fine with rufus. If you recommend troonix to them, it will most likely make their life very miserable. If they absolutely insist on switching to troonix, just recommend Mint.

This must be some sort of troll because every retard knows LTSC is supported until 2032 or something.

literally this. loontroons are the digital equivalent of those annoying, pushy vege bitches. Despite their "best" effords and gorrilions of shekhels in funds, they can barely compete with something like Windows XP.

On /g/? Maybe Fedora KDE Plasma. Would recommend Mint to my grandma

Reading about the history of viruses, I’ve come to accept that updating is an act of self-preservation and not just capitulation. Especially with how efficient coding and reverse engineering has become these days.

Yes, what would I do without co-pilot

Debian, ubuntu, fedora, endevor os, pop os
All good starter distros. With endevor being the least friendly imo.
Manjaro is pretty okay too but they had some fucky shit go down a few years back. Last i checked theyre on the level again.

>>105642270
Debian can be a problem for newbs with newer hardware given the old kernel
Ubuntu I would agree, but snaps. Still it's probably not that big a deal and by the time they start to understand them and Linux more they'll know how to switch to another distro that doesn't force that or they'll purge snapd.
Fedora is what I use, it's simple and generally user friendly but not to set it up. For instance you need to add the rpmfusion non free repo to install non free codecs like ffmpeg. That's gotta be googled, and for this reason I'd recommend Ubuntu over it.
The other distros you suggested I don't know.

>>105638933
Snaps are great when you need an unsandboxed GUI app but still don't want to deal with dependency hell.

Pop OS is pretty nice for newbs. I installed it on my old laptop and gave it to my wife to use. She didn't complain in last 2.5 years. I just check and install updates every 3-4 months, it just runs

Windows server 2022 configured as a workstation.

Most will go to windows 11 or torrent windows 11 or stay on the cracked version of windows 10 with almost no bloat. Anything els like Linux means your gay and irrelevant

>>105642852
I assume techvegan is now any slight variance from latest windows.

>>105636791

>>105636184
this, using LTSC no issues

>>105641361
yes I am a tech vegan, kill yourself

Nope, it ends Oct 2028 if you activate ESU, and Jan 2032 if you're on IoT LTSC 2021

I only download Windows when I'm helping other people install it. My most recent experiences have not been positive.

>>105636071 (OP)
i just use win11 education but if i was going to grab a linux distro it'd be steamos

>>105643672
I downloaded a cracked version and has no bloat exept the important programs lol. I dont even know what prople are complaining about when they said windows is bloated and i actually donw believe most people who say this.

>>105643702
Why would you do that? SteamOS isnt a overall OS its just a dashnoard for gaming wtf you retard?? How are you gonna download programs to do other things than gaming

The best alternative to Windows 10 Shit Edition (dies soon) is Windows 10 Good Edition (dies in 8 years)
No OS can replace Windows, you can't even run professional shit like Photoshop or Ableton on Linux. The FOSS alternatives are shit (shit). Linux is for the unemployed.

>>105636104
Are you referring to this?

If so—do you have experience with the OS, or did you just watch this YouTube video and mindlessly suggested?
