My sisters dog really does not like rain. She bought a raincoat for him, but if he wears it, he simply does not move. He just just standing still and does not move one step. He prefers getting wet over wearing a coat.

There is an official Fedora KDE edition for more than one year now.

I would really like to have one. But I own a XBOX Series X and realistically that's fine for me to use. hardware wise, the Steam Machine is not even a big update.

I'll wait 8 years for the next gen Steam Machine.

Also, do you need that long battery life? If yes, ARM or really new intel processors with energy saving cores seem to be the way to go.

I don't have experience with it myself. But what I've read so far is, that the Snapdragon support by Linux is quite bad. Not sure if I would recommend that...

But the new Intel CPU's are great. They are quite efficient and performant.

The problem is not really the end of Windows 10 itself. It was released in 2015 which is more than 10 years ago. Even Apple and Linux do not support versions of their OS fur such a long time.

The real problem are the hardware requirements of Windows 11 which do not allow users to install it on older PCs, but the article mentions that only in one short sentence.

In my opinion, end consumers should have the right to buy each PC/notebook with at least two Operation System options and the vendor must provide open source drivers for the hardware. The reason why so few people use Linux is, that Windows is preinstalled on most computers.

Governments and companies should switch to Linux to be independent from Microsoft. It's simple risk reduction.

Who uses left or right to determine directions in the field of Geography can't burn anyone. He should have called it west side park.

Fully agree!

As a Linux user for more than 10 years now, I can not really understand why so many people switch from Windows to CachyOS.

Yes, CachyOS is great. In general I see the advantage of Arch based distros, but only if one knows what they are doing. It's great on fresh installs, but over time users need to fix issues and make decisions and this only works if they know what they are doing.

Similar wis NixOS. Great distro, but not for low maintanance and beginners. If you just want something that runs super stable and you don't need to fix anything, go for Debian. And there are a lot of options between Debian and CachyOS.

Do you kbow where Europe get it's uranium to power these nuclear power plants from? No? Let me tell you: We import it from countries like Kazakhstan, Niger a bit from Canada. France, one of the biggest nuclear powered countries imports it's uranium from Russia. This is exactly the same as with oil and gas. So tell me: How do nuclear power plants help us, if we have to import the fuel?

Do you know what are the resources we have in Europe: Wind, water and sun. To be fair, we have cole too, but this is one of the dirtiest ways to produce energie.

The only way out are renewable energies.

It's not that easy. E.g. Europe was on good terms with Russia. It is not like Europe decided to become an enemy of Russia, Russia attacked an European country. Of course we should question ourselves if we should have trusted Russia in the first place.

The only way out is to become more enery independent by using more renewable energies.

Same here. Guacamole is totally fine. But besides that, I can not understand how anyone likes to eat Avocados.

My mum, who is in her 60's, and never used anything other than Windows is on Linux Mint for nearly two years now and has no problem using it. I was surprised she has even explored features like virtual desktops and is using them now. She is far far away from being a tech person. And she never needed to touched a terminal while using it.

But I needed to install Mint for her. I think she would have given up at the point where the boot order had to be changed to start from the USB with the live/install media. And this is the biggest downside of Linux: You can't just buy the average consumer pc/notebook with a pre-installed Linux. It is always windows installed. That's why people keep using Windows. Not because Windows is better.

 

Hey there!

My (Korean) wife's notebook, an older LG gram, does not support Windows 10 anymore and I could convince her to switch to linux.

A few years ago, she used my notebook with Linux Mint and I had to set up and configure everything to enable her to switch the Keyboard between English and Hangul. Honestly, it didn't work that great. I didn't know what I was doing, because I never used a dual layout keyboard and she felt like switching layout was somehow strange and felt weird.

I thought maybe there is a distribution, that supports that out of the box. The only south korean distro I found is HamoniKR. Does someone have experience with it?

Or can someone recommend a distro that supports multiple keyboard layouts very well?

The OS language does not need to be Korean, english is totally fine. Only the keyboard layout should be easy to switch. I mostly use Debian based distributions. Therefore it would be the easiest for me to support, but something Redhat based should also work out.

Desktop wise, something similar to Windows as the default desktop would be nice. Cinnamon should work fine (seems to be HarmoniKR's default) or KDE Plasma.

Thanks in advance for good your tipps and advices!
