Your drive might be dying or you have the most fucked up buggy UEFI ever.

>>723885543
Only time I had a boot issue was self inflicted but it happened a long time ago for no reason I could see. Feels like issues in Windows are almost constant and most ultimately harmless (like background randomly going away). With Linux it shits the bed hard or there's minor graphical glitches from time to time.

One issue I had recently was a wine prefix getting raped so bad I had consecutive North Bridge errors within 20 minutes of launching a game. This might have to do with reusing one prefix as the exe for another in a launcher but still spoopy. Thought my rig was dying and I'd need a new mobo. Totally gone now and even stress testing didn't make it happen again.

Because when you buy [machine] it comes with windows on it. Why don't more people select and use doors for their house they like more? Because they don't understand a reason to change it, the effort to go throgh changing it is big, and they don't want to spend the time on a change they consider frivolous when there are other things they understand demands more time and effort. Some people don't care that they're being advertised to in their own homes, some people don't care about telemetry, some people assume it's normal. All of this gives the corporations power over us and the normalization just makes that process all the easier for them.

Why do you keep making this thread? People don't use Linux because it didn't come with their computers and they have no reason to go out of their way to switch to something that isn't listed as a supported operating system for the software they already know how to use.

I'm from rural america with shitty dial-up tier internet and two parents who knew nothing about computers and I still became a self-taught programmer who can handle this stuff fine. The problem is that Linux is annoying to use if your goal is to actually get shit done. It's for people who want to tinker with and spend all their time customizing their computer instead of doing anything actually productive unless they're intending to use it as a server or something.

What is this "spend time tinkering" meme that keeps being mouthed off over and over while being clearly wrong?
I don't ever "tinker" with either Linux or Windows PCs after I'm done setting them up, unless there's something concrete I need to change from the previous configuration.

Also what is this "anything actually productive" that you people are constantly doing with your computers? This is /v/, playing video games isn't productive.

Stuff like this keeps me away. DSC on nvidia working so erratically. It's not even like you can do much about this sort of shit: If you edit an EDID and do the annoying bullshit required to use it, it doesn't matter if you set a different VRR range, anything that your monitor wouldn't support without DSC causes problems like these.
VRR is not a last year technology. We're not talking even about gaytracing or HDR here. Gsync monitors were already being sold in the mid 2010s. But somehow nvidia still shits the bed with these. I have my fancy cool monitor and if I want to switch to linux I have to cuck it up.

I understand this is a reference to the bajillion meme distros but there literally are only a few distro familiies
>Slackware + derivatives = not relevant
>Gentoo + derivatives = not relevant
>Debian + derivatives (incl. Ubuntu + Mint/LMDE) = some people recommend but anyone who knows anything also considers it irrelevant
Discounting Ubuntu for turning to shit and being bloated, discounting Debian because release is running old drivers and testing is a meme that is mostly stable but liable to leaving your system broken for months due to updates taking about as long.

Pretty much just leaves whatever game-tailored derivative of Arch that's the most popular (CatchyOS?) and will give you the easiest time looking for answers when something inevitably breaks. That's option 1 for playing modern games. Option 2 is to find a release of Debian/Mint and play mostly classics and almost no newer games.

>Ubuntu is not a meme, it's a serious OS
It will literally sap performance to serve you ads and be a shitty easily broken distro. Don't care, it's Windows but even worse.
>Debian is totally useable for gaming and stable!
It's a serviceable distro but using it for gaming is not going to be fun when the old drivers start causing problems in some new game and you have to switch to testing and then cut yourself untested and broken updates.
>Mint is simple and good
It's basically an easier Debian without as much bloat as Ubuntu, but LMDE is based off Debian testing IIRC and it's still going to problem. Neat distro for an office machine.
>EL (Red Hat, Fedora, OEL whatever)
Worse than Debian. Alright for servers.
>Gentoo will gib performance
Nigger don't make me smile
>But Arch/meme derivative will break often
Yeah and short update cycle will almost always also fix it often.
>Nix

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the effort.
And there is effort to be done. If I want my gamepad to work right, I can't just plug and play like Windows. If I want my nvidia GPU to work right, I gotta cuck myself. I spent 3 days between last week and this week fucking around with EDID just to get around display issues on linux. I have to do nothing about this on Windows. Do I get access to any of my editing tools? No. I have to use stuff like Darktable. Can I undervolt my nvidia GPU? Kinda but not really, I don't have a curve editor at all over there. It's all not so simple. It's good for people who have a low to mid end build. People who find it impressive that monitors have higher refresh rates than 120hz, in 2025. If you have some old shit like an RX580 and an early Ryzen build and a 144hz iiyama monitor or whatever, there you go, linux might be better.

I haven't used it in a few months but after being on it for half a year I gave up and went back. I only use it for servers now, where it belongs. Here's a few notable cases though:
>Hell Divers 2
Doesn't run on multiple distros and will randomly crash causing the need for a hard reboot. Doesn't happen in windows.
>Anything Adobe
Getting them to run is just lol. No I'm not going to run GIMP and be like that greentext meme of the guy in class running linux and getting beat up in the parking lot.
>Tribes
Massive input delay that didn't happen on windows and didn't happen to any other games.
>Logitech onboard memory
Literally does not work so I need to plug my mouse into my laptop, change the DPI, then plug it back into my desktop. You can say this is logitech's fault but it doesn't matter to me. It doesn't work and adds needless hassle.
Besides the games, for the OS you need to spend a good 10-15 minutes on <small daily new bullshit issue> that just works instantly on windows or mac.

I wasn't thinking of "AAA slop" with anticheat, I've had plenty of games not work or have major issues. Even if I WAS talking about that, just saying "welp you shouldn't be playing those anyway!" doesn't help your argument and makes people think your OS is for autistic nerds with a chip on their shoulder (because it is). Most people use a computer to run applications, they don't give a fuck about the OS. Linux users are the weird opposite of this.

When I ask people why I should use Linux, they can't say anything other than "it's just better." That's not a compelling argument. Everyone uses Windows, everyone makes software for Windows, I understand Windows, I need some really good reasons to switch. I also don't live by myself, my PC is my family's PC, I can't just change the OS and pray they don't notice, and any time something doesn't work I have to spend the rest of the night troubleshooting it. People say you need to be a programmer to use Linux and a lifetime of video games, roleplaying in chat rooms, reading blogs and pirating music hasn't actually taught me how these magic boxes work.

You wanna try to run a porn game on linux bud? yeah I can't wait to start scrolling through command line instruction books while trying to keep a hard on going. Thrilling stuff. I get the appeal of Linux, I fucking despise windows and everything it represents but I like playing a lot of games in a wide net of availability and support. They all work on windows and only some of them work on linux and even if they didn't work on windows I'd know how to fix it, while on linux I don't and there's no good argument for dealing with linux outside of no longer having to deal with windows, which is a compelling argument but with windows I just have to deal with windows the other apps don't bother me, with linux I have to deal with an expanding list of headaches from either end.

The problem with kernel anti-cheat on Linux is that if you let it run it won't be running kernel mode. The Windows kernel you have in Wine isn't actually the Linux kernel at all. You're running userspace with low privileges lol
Basically, any kernel level anti-cheat is completely ineffective on Linux against any Linux based cheat (if such a thing exists). It's like having DMA hardware without actually needing DMA hardware.

So people who are extremely serious about addressing cheaters via kernel level anti-cheat will NEVER allow Linux.

People like when their tools just work without the need to engage in fuckery to accomplish basic tasks. Asking a regular person to edit config files and the like is why normal people will never use Linux. It’s not a user friendly operating system, even desktop focused distros are always just inferior/undercooked takes on existing UIs. I haven’t had a windows update break my windows install since windows vista, whereas basic updates break Linux distros all the time. Linux would get a user base if they made it usable for normal people who don’t enjoy fiddling around with retarded half broken open source garbage. Windows >>>> MacOS >> BSD >>>> Linux.

people are afraid of bricking their pc and doing stuff they've never done before. btw there's nothing about installing linux that can make your pc unrecoverable. worse case scenario you can easily reinstall windows.

Whether you can use program X or not has no relation to the functionality of the OS. Program X working depends on the developers of that program making it work. There's nothing the OS can do about it. (assuming Linux isn't trying to emulate Windows, which it's not)

Not being windows gradually stops being a little benefit and becomes a humongous benefit.
With 11, microshits became extremely aggressive compared to how they used to be as of 10 release, and apparently that's only the beginning. The TPM chip being required today is just a groundwork for what they're actually plan to use it (a whitelist of microshit-signed applications, similar to apple ecosystem).

NTA but the way encryption works is that there is a key stored on the drive somewhere and the boot process asks you for a password that decrypts the key, then uses the key to decrypt the actual full set of data. This can be a problem to recover from unless you know what you're doing. If you don't care/have backups prepared then performance can be a bit lower.

For comparison the expected 5 year survival rate for most pancreatic cancer is 13%, while for the type Steve Jobs had it was 61%.

>"Jobs's faith in alternative medicine likely cost him his life ... He had the only kind of pancreatic cancer that is treatable and curable ... He essentially committed suicide."

It doesn't really matter on modern systems. Encrypt your data. Also set up proper backups so you never have to do a real data recovery. Use the 3-2-1 method.

Use the program vorta for borg backup. It let's you do incremental, scheduled, compressed backups and is amazing. I have 1 repo on my spare hdd (internal), and 2 for external HDDs. It just works. Don't lose your passwords! Write them down.

I just don't see the point. I made my own install of Win10 that rips out all of the bloat (could almost call a distro). I have an arch install that i put on a generic laptop and...i just don't get why i would care about it. The one thing i don't get with my Windows install is why the boot time gets slower even though i have a dedicated m.2 drive for the OS that nothing else gets installed on. Seems like having to check the other drives as stuff gets installed on them slows the boot down. If i could fix that without reinstalling my OS, i'd be 100% satisfied. But that complaint alone is not going to get me to switch.

In this case it is unironically true with mint. I have no idea who tf keeps making so many posts recommending it on /v/ just because its "beginner friendly" or whatever, but the packages are old as shit, if you play any modern games or have any modern hardware at all you do not want mint.

Well, I mean clearly you see the point if you went through the trouble of hand rolling a windows "distro". I guess its a question of which you find to be the shortest path, fighting microsoft to get a usable operating system by paring back the most egregious parts, or starting from a clean slate working your way up to one.
I personally found the "I took windows and gutted it until it worked the way I wanted" to be confusing, but I guess if you're already very familiar with windows system administration it might make sense but I couldn't imagine investing so much time and effort into such a hostile ecosystem.

Let me water it down for you. Every distro is still Linux. They are all different flavors of the same thing. Some of them are better suited for certain things. The fact that you let the shitposts dissuade you from it entirely is pathetic. Do you always let disagreements over things that are ultimately immaterial force you to withdraw? 4chan is not going to give you serious answers and you're a retard for looking for them here.

Better yet, let me lay it out by a handful of distros:

Mint - a good general use distro; easy install, high stability; easy for Windows users to learn; lightweight, fast, and no bloat

CachyOS - a more customizable Mint

Bazzite - a gaming centric distro with high stability and compatibility with most hardware; immutable, so low risk of unintentionally fucking anything up

Ubuntu - like Bazzite but not immutable so you can customize more shit but risky if you don't know what you're doing; still easy to use and lightweight; experience is what you make it

Arch - advanced distro for people that want everything fine-tuned to their liking; not recommended for anyone without an abundance of spare time

You are never going to have a consensus when there are multiple versions of the same thing. You don't even have that with Windows. People argue all the time about 7 vs 8 vs 10 vs XP and whatever the fuck. That's just a fucking stupid pivot point to give yourself.

Arch is best to use on a device that you don't use for anything important. Updates don't break literally everything. Worst case you can roll back to a previous version and just wait until a more stable one rolls out. Arch gets updates constantly so it's not like it'll take long. That's a byproduct of using a bleeding edge distro that's maintained by people who do it for a hobby. If you want to put the time into learning it, Arch is probably the best documented distro in existence and even the most minor of things probably has an entry on the wiki. You can fine tune it to do exactly the things you want as long exactly how you want them as long as you know how to code and use the terminal. There's a learning curve to it just as there is with everything. You can get exactly what you want, but it comes at the cost of work. It's up to you to determine how much getting exactly what you want is worth to you.

Precisely. Ironically what scares people the most about Arch is the fact that it is such a good distro. You have absolute freedom and it's so lightweight you can make it run on a toaster. People are conditioned to having everything served up on a platter for them and not even having to do 5 seconds of work to get it for themselves. Admittedly, the install process is a barrier. It took me about 2 hours to get it on my shitty second hand laptop. But having the damn thing run like brand new and with snappiness that I've never seen on a computer was perspective changing.

Unironically the best time to learn a Linux distro is when you don't need to. Getting to ease into it and having time to get comfortable is the best way to become familiar with it. A lot of people fuck around with Linux trying to do something specific without even getting a feel for whatever distro they picked. Then they decide they hate it because they can't figure out how to do X specific thing in half a second. I made a hobby out of distro hopping on a shitty little used laptop and it was fun seeing the minor differences between them. Is that a way to become a Linux expert? Not really, but it does get you comfortable with the install process and makes it feel less daunting to learn new things. Learning doesn't come to you, you have to go get it.

I mean, yeah. When you get conditioned to relying on a product to do literally every single little thing for you, you lose the ability to do your own troubleshooting. That goes for anything. You can save a lot of time and money doing your own car maintenance, most people just don't want to so they give up the freedom to decide how their maintenance is done and a good chunk of change along with it. Relinquishing those things to someone else leaves you with less power as a user/consumer and ultimately allows whoever you relinquished it to to decide what you get.

Ubuntu is a good beginner distro. I used it a few years ago and it was pretty easy even then. You will have a lot of people telling you little things here and there that they don't like about it, but it's up to you to decide if they're worth dealing with. There is also Xubuntu and Kubuntu for different use cases. Ubuntu is probably the most bloated of the bunch and uses the GNOME desktop environment which isn't everyone's cup of tea. If you like it, go for it. Xubuntu is the most lightweight of them. It used the XFCE desktop environment which is very simple and minimalist. It will be the fastest of them. Kubuntu as far as bloat is a medium between the two and it uses KDE which is similar to the Windows desktop environment. Do yourself the favor of spending like half an hour or something researching them before you install one. There are YouTube videos that showcase them all.

I'm pretty retarded and I have used Linux occasionally. I installed in on a low end laptop because windows was too much of a fat ass for it; I've also got a steam deck and I've messed around in the steam OS desktop mode on that a bit.

The reason I haven't installed it on my main PC is because up until recently I haven't given a shit. Windows was the default os and it was fine as far as what I used it for. Things that seem to drive smarter people nuts, like weird update bullshit, didn't bother me.

More recently though, I'm starting to lose patience with Windows. It's pretty obviously gotten jeeted to hell in the past years with bullshit advertisements, AI horseshit, changing my desktop around without asking.

Strange stance, smells a bit like a cope to me. The way you stick to the man is by denying their foothold on the ecosystem, not by insisting that you can use their software despite their best effort. That signals to them that they can continue shitting up computers and users will find a way to cope.

Linux is worse at everything normal people care about and is 100x harder to use than Windows. That coupled with the hostile attitude from you autistic faggots will ensure Windows' dominance forever

but normal people just need a browser, browsers run fine
in fact, most normal people don't use PCs at all, they just use phones which roughly half or so run Android already

I installed an ackshual linux distro on my phone and it went from agony to comfortable. No more "which fucking gesture do I need to use to find the shit thats running right now" or "where is the god damn setting for tethering".
Just an easy systemctl start xyz on the virtual keyboard and you're away to the races!
I wish that was ironic but I hate mobile UIs so god damn much I'd literally rather use a terminal on a virtual keyboard

this but literally the opposite. its more like getting told to buy a multi bit screwdriver kit with torx, philip, flat, square, hex, frearson and turning your nose up to it because youre too scared to change out the bits yourself.

Well, the thing is I only have nvidia hardware. Granted I've never used Mint specifically on any gaming capable hardware (I would never). I've only played video games on Arch, CachyOS and EndeavourOS. Never had a single problem installing those. CachyOS was the only one of those that had obvious issues for me while gaming.

Install Gentoo then. Or do an Arch setup manually. That's about the most complex procedurally you can get while still being practical. It won't be much of a struggle if you're over 100 IQ though. That said, you can definitely get some struggle from those. Specially if you fuck shit up by accident.

What do you use? I currently dual boot Mint and Windows 10 I pirated ESU but I have a third disk to experiment with. I was thinking CachyOS. I have the newest AMD hardware.

>if you play any modern games or have any modern hardware at all you do not want mint
No wonder I had such strange fucked up problems trying it with my RX 9070

What fucking propaganda did they run to convince people to constantly recommend mint?

For any morons that are also tech iliterates let me give you the simplest of guides for dishing windows out and switching to linux.
For starters forget all the memes
Step 1>>723924714
Step 2
Stick to mint regardless
Why? It's the simplest to learn of them all, it's not the best, it's the most stable, if you are a moron then the first step is learning how not to be one, stability is better than performance
Step 3 get rufus(or an alternative) and a mint iso (or an alternative if you hate yourself) (yt tutorial if you are retarded enough)
Step 4 f2 to go in bios or f12 if you're on pc
Step 5: pick the usb you just made with rufus on the boot menu
Step 6: let the usb do it's charm upon restart
Step 7: do all the steps, mint will hand hold you (10 min set up)
Done. That's it.
After that all you have to do is learn a bit about linux, commands and all that, otherwise, you can do it all through guis(translated to "moron", aka a visual interface, there is a tutorial for anything and everything)
Optional: do not encrypt your os with luk if you're retarded
ALLWAYS, do a time stamp or timeshift (mint will show you how)
DO NOT install 3rd party or flatpak software until you get familiar with linux.
If drivers gpu drivers fail, you have 2 options. One that is easy, one that is slightly harder but even a monkey can do it.
1 disable safeboot
Or
2 look on a tutorial on how to sign them with a custom pgp file.
Woila you just got linux mint, now you install steam (from the repository aka the app manager not from the internet) and you play around for a bit.
If not, watch a wine tutorial.
Congratulations, now stop acting like a bunch of pussies and learn how to use your own shit without handholding.
Linux CAN run most things as good as windows it WON'T run them as good as windows because you are bellow average in 80% of situations.
All I mentioned can be done in an hour if you're slow, a few more if mentally challanged.
No shame in looking commands online but check to see what they do.

Don't know. You can just use Ubuntu, Fedora or Debian with Cinnamon. Avoid fake distros. Avoid some random guy's config/dotfiles being distributed as a distro.

Recommending fedora to someone that has issues with mint is allready like recommending a guy that can't swim without a vest to use his hands...
Unbuntu is a better option, mint is unbuntu just a bit more handholding.
Never used debian so I can't talk about it.
I did the mistake of starting with fedora, wich ironically enough, gave me enough ptsd to just make everything destruction proof for when I started with linux (and unlike fedora nothing crashed for me on mint besides something I myself did as a troglodyte at the time)

Pretty sure cinnamon is a possible default option for arch too.
Been meaning to check out budgie for a while too thinking on it.
