It’s just wild that you have to do ‘dozens’ of things to ‘clean up’ a ‘fresh install’.
I had windows 10, and it was pain. Never going to 11, switched to Linux, even though it’s more difficult for gaming, everything else is better.
And you’ll still never be able to get rid of all the telemetry and annoying shit…
but if Microsoft really wants to know how you’re doing, you should just let them so they stop worrying 😔
Windows 11 us honestly pretty good. I wouldn’t go back to Windows 10 personally.
I do run Linux pretty much exclusively though

I don’t know anything about Plex, but I know people have written scripts for migrating Jellyfin databases and installations. Are there no scripts like that for Plex?
Why is it so hard to move plex to linux?
Cause it’s proprietary garbage? You are at that company’s mercy. Simple as

Until your WiFi driver stops getting updates.
ref: Linux’s Sole Wireless/WiFi Driver Maintainer Is Stepping Down
Funnily enough I’ve had to block the updates for my WiFi card in my Windows PC for years now as if it updates it just does Bluescreen loops until I boot into safe mode with out networking and remove the driver.
It blows.
Good news is that Linux handles that card just fine.
Headlines, lol
Literally yesterday I had windows 10 shit out its own asshole and corrupt itself. Nothing I could do would recover the windows install. Wouldn’t even download a new replacement in the recovery menu.
Ripped the drive out and checked the files. All my personal stuff is there. Just windows that decided it had enough.
Took this opportunity to install Linux mint. Been using it on my old desktop in the living room and it’s been phenomenal.
Fuck you windows and thanks for making the decision easy for me.
This is basically how I got started too, but worse lol. Mine was just w10 wouldn’t make it past the “pin” screen, just blackness, tried to let it load for 24hr and it never did, so instead of even trying recovery I just rescued my files with a live usb of fedora (mounted that drive and bypassed the pin no less, who knew) and once I was done just installed fedora. Never looked back, it physically pains me when I have to use windows at work.
Heeey, another Windows to Mint convert! I did the same thing a couple of months back and have been having a great time, hope it goes smoothly for you too!
Currently dealing with getting DaVinci resolve running and getting more to grips with Linux as a daily driver.
Any issues that you have encountered?
I had the same happen to my Win 11 install. Best ad for Linux i‘ve ever gotten. I installed Bazzite OS on that machine a day later and over the next few days my other machines got Fedora.
I have to use Windows 11 for work. It’s bad. But this past weekend my son was getting poor performance of a steam game so I dusted off the old windows partition to see if it was a compatibility issue (it wasn’t, my hardware simply doesn’t cut it - but it sucked less on Linux). But damn, managing a windows system is TERRIBLE.
And what for? You can’t even change the system font. This ducking bullshit system won’t afford you any comforts! It’s all locked in place, shoved down your throat.
I accidentally did it because I wanted to resize the Windows partition but KDE partition manager failed and it corrupted the filesystem. I wiped the entire drive and now I use it as a Steam library. I don’t even regret it, my setup feels clean now and I have a ton of space for games
I’ve never gone full-Linux, always dual-booted. But I’m finally over it and gaming on Linux has matured. So I’ve resolved to wipe my drive and force myself to only use Linux. Kind of excited about it! But mostly, I just don’t want Recall, bloatware, or Microsoft’s propriety bullshit and selling my data…
Steam os any day now (งツ)ว
Maybe they don’t want to use Linux? Perhaps we should stop trying to force Linux. Use whatever floats your boat.
Your sentiment is good and all, but we’re talking about !linuxmemes@lemmy.world here :)
Maybe they don’t want to clean up a fresh install of Windows, maybe they don’t own a computer, maybe they don’t have arms, maybe they can’t read
