How many people on here run #Linux on the desktop?
@conserveletters My 'media center' runs Mint
@somewhatcyclops That's cool. I have been playing with various distros for many years. I haven't used Linux as a primary desktop in a while due to my 2-in-1 laptop hardware not being fully supported and there's some things I do I'd rather not do in a windows VM and sometimes wine can be a pain - thinking of possibly dual booting
@conserveletters I would definitely recommend it, I dual booted Linux and Windows (I had a job where I had to use Windows) for five years with zero complaints (once I got grub set up properly, of course)
@somewhatcyclops I haven't played with dual booting for a while - have done VM's and I have a Raspberry Pi running pi-hole to block ads network-wide.
I actually like windows 11 for the most part but searching for files is terrible compared to spotlight on the mac and was wondering if it would be much better in windows if it was my daily driver.
@somewhatcyclops I meant "any better in linux" in that last reply. Yeah I've been a mac fan for a long time but really enjoy having a touchscreen more than I thought I would.
@conserveletters I recently switched to macintosh as my primary driver (went creative instead of continuing forward in healthcare IT / data stuff and wanted a platform the farthest away I could get - ha!). Have been blown away by spotlight and have not seen its like in Windows.
I was always bummed Microsoft didn't make good on the rumor to go SQL for their file system, their search is sad.
