Just delete the bloatware
At this point I think you’re basically just removing 90% of the stuff on there and stuff like Windows update breaks completely. Windows is not made to have the bloat removed.

@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a Bit* At this point I think you’re basically just removing 90% of the stuff on there and stuff like Windows Update breaks completely. Windows is not made to have the bloat removed.17:51:35
@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a BitOnce you get to that point, it’s kinda just easier to put in the tiny amount of effort to learn modern Linux.17:52:16
@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a Bit Also installing Tiny11 looks harder than installing Linux 17:52:57
@fossery-tech:matrix.orgFossery TechWhy use a crappy 32-bit Tiny10/11 in 2024? There are less and less programs supporting 32-bit18:11:54

Ease of Use and Highest Compatibility
Have you tried Linux Mint or Zorin OS?

And anyways, it transforms back to regular Windows after some system updates, or even fail to update

@_discord_558391995362443285:t2bot.iomellowhisper Fedora better 18:53:56
@_discord_558391995362443285:t2bot.iomellowhisper Everyone??? 💀 18:54:11
@_discord_558391995362443285:t2bot.iomellowhisper It's 64 bit 18:54:28
@_discord_558391995362443285:t2bot.iomellowhisper I don't think you even use Tiny11 because Aaron makes more debatable points than you do 18:55:04
@_discord_558391995362443285:t2bot.iomellowhisper Like his points are valid, your's have no research or experience behind them 18:55:39

Fedora better
For most people, probably not. Gnome is trash, and Fedora doesn’t really promote alternatives. Also they are a testing distribution with a goal of moving fast and breaking things so that RHEL doesn’t have to.
I like Linux Mint, but I will actually recommend Zorin to most new users simply because of how polished it is.

Most normal people that is… For people who want to somewhat mess with Linux, Fedora is a great option.

@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a BitThey do have a “pro” version, but it’s pretty fair and mostly a donation to the project.19:59:16
@fossery-tech:matrix.orgFossery TechGNOME trash but you recommend Zorin OS?20:20:34
@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a Bit*Stock Gnome20:24:10

@fossery-tech:matrix.orgFossery TechWell, it's subjective16:20:02
@fossery-tech:matrix.orgFossery TechI could say KDE Plasma is trash because it's so unstable on my machine, but it works fine for many other people16:21:37
@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a Bittrue, true…17:46:51
@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a BitStock Gnome‘s workflow is just so foreign to other computer users coming from anywhere besides an iPad.17:47:39
@arcushing:matrix.orgLinux in a BitThe biggest thing is the lack of a dock by default, requiring distros to add things like Dash to Dock: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/17:48:30
@fossery-tech:matrix.orgFossery TechYeah for beginners, probably Zorin's version of GNOME is much better18:21:01
