    Just for clarification: with these style of posts, am i supposed to read the bottom one first? I can’t remember when these types of posts came into circulation, but I’ve been puzzled about them ever since. It’s like the first/top line is sometimes the punchline, and i feel like i spoiled a joke or story by reading it from top to bottom.

      The user that screenshooted it had the bottom post selected, that’s why it’s bigger. However, top to bottom is the normal chronological order, see how they mention the other one to respond in the second and third posts.

    Tomorrow, I will pick up a second, empty, work notebook. I am part of a small group that implements a user driven Linux support in our 6k employee group.

    We will make it more then a week, I promise :)

      very impressed with linux gaming now

      my last try was 10+ years ago

      games are literally running better on my (getting) tired desktop, and I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram which could barely boot windoze

        I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram

        Grim Fandango Remastered, right? 'Cause it’s not exactly impressive if its the original, give-or-take WINE maintaining compatibility with old Win9x libraries…

        I’ve been meaning to get around to playing that game for 30+ years, and the remastered version for 10.

        Which card? There’s a few distros that handle installing the drivers for you (Nobara and Bazzite spring to mind)

        If it’s an issue of outdated hardware it can be tricky but doable. I have an old Thinkpad with an Nvidia Quadro K2000 that I got working with MX Linux without too much hassle

    Been using it for a couple of decades now. It just keeps getting better. You can’t say that about many things these days.

    On my PC, for some time now, every week is “week of the Linux desktop”. My user experience only got better since I ditched microslop.

    Honestly, this is such a great idea. Get the IT team to create a bootable distro with all the apps the average user needs. Have a video they can watch to get the basics down, have IT available to install one-off software.

    At the end of the week give people the choice to keep going or go back to Windows/Mac and get feedback.

    Try again in a couple of quarters.

    Most people use web-based apps anyway.

    I think I would question the reverse. I don’t think I could get my work done if I had to use something else. Maybe MacOS would work…maybe.

    Starting my third week of the Linux Desktop. I’ve never been so happy to switch DE’s as I am this time, and without a dual boot option for windows to claw itself back. Goodbye forever, Windows. My new DE is Fedorable

    In honor of this week of the Linux desktop I updated my Arch system. Will update again for the next week of the Linux desktop. Keepe in the loop!
