The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

Linux never looked so good!

Or templeOS.

[–] Norule6@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

agreed. Now is the time to visit the linux community and figure out how to get started.

Linux Mint is a good distro to try out!

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Personally I would suggest Fedora with KDE.

It seems to me more robust with hardware support, it's indirectly backed by a major company, it gets updates often to stay compatible for gaming, and one click gets you proprietary drivers/software support.

This. Then if you want to expand your horizons, OpenSUSE.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah starting with Mint and then go further if you want to makes sense.

100% agree been using Linux for 15 years and will never stop plus once you learn everything there is to know about how Linux works if something breaks odds are you can fix it yourself or report it with logs faster if you contribute your self as well.
