Really? I just found enterprise grade e.g. server security tools. Most sites I found were ourdated, where the Linux EndpointSecurity tools were discontinued (even tho the server tools would probably as good as EndpointSecurity)

Well, on the other side I have Steam and most of the games there are closed source… Yes they run in user mode and (usually) don’t have kernel level access.

I’m curious how this will impact the desktop-growth in the next time.

I feel like gamingonlinux is a hygene factor for desktop computing, which is now coverd for a good amount of home users.

This.

The first time users start to change OS is when Chrome or Steam doesn’t work because of the unsupported OS version.

Yes, but not out of the box. 😅

Which one did you choose? The ones I found feeled pretty clunky to use…

Shoud we tell her/him/… about Gnome 45?

In case you really want/need some more modern drivers/software,… Nobara is also recommendable stable.

First thing I do when getting a computer is setting up the preloaded Linux.

If I buy the M$ Windows crap, they keep making it.

Smart choice! The option to just try it in a safe way with the live USB is a good way to try it.

Also try out some of the themes in the settings 😉 The amazing wallpapers of Linux Mint are so fancy, so I decided to use it on my work Windows PC, which I am forced to deal with ☺️

I really think you would have a great time with either “Linux Mint” because of its rocksolid philosophy of not breaking stuff or shipping “beta software”.

Otherwise a safe option would be a Linux variant with professional support options - just in case you need it. ZorinOS, Tuxedo or Pop_OS! are the most common ones.

Personally i’d take Linux Mint, which in most cases works flawless out of the box. The premium options are nonetheless also great options.

It’s not yet a Linux distro :3

Nowerdays Nvidia starts to care about Linux an Nobara is doing a great job to care too. There was a long, rocky road to get to this point 😎

Good mythical morning, Cpt. Obvious 😉

I can confirm the results above. Nontheless, you are right.

So, do you use Lutris instead?

I mean it’s a bad/WTF horror film, but maybe a good comedy horror film ^^
