Nice list, especially for new users. I'd add Zorin OS for people coming from Windows, macOS users will probably feel at home in ElementaryOS.

However I do not agree with listing Android as mobile Linux. Their kernel is based/forked from the Linux kernel, but none of my Linux apps will run on it. Mobian (Debian based) and postmarketOS (Alpine Linux based) I would recommend. However because of missing drivers their is a very limited selection of devices you can use to try it out ✌️😎

When in doubt, choose B ✌️😎

Well, you could switch to the new Arch; #NixOS ✌️😎

if you are looking for a better linux, i can definitely recommend this: https://zorin.com/os/

the main reason it caught my attention is that it supports my crispy fresh new RX 7800 XT - fully - although what it installs adds an "upgrade" kernel that b0rked the result... but it loads off the live usb with proper credentials on the video output not just llvmpipe framebuffer

#linux #os #foss

Agreed, but when how fast will they update to Zorin OS 18? Because just ~3 months ago they released 17, based on Ubuntu 22.04 (released in April of 2022) with 24.04 about to be released in just 2 months.

I know they have been working hard on their upgrading software with the previous release, but I still hope they don't "wait" another 2 years for the next release πŸ€”

If you are willing to learn a new tool you can look at Darktable and Rawtherapee as alternatives for Lightroom. AFAIK is GIMP the best alternative to Photoshop, however they still don't have nondestructive editing πŸ˜”

What kind of programs do you use? While it is true that not all programs you have used in Windows are available/functional (Wine (with Bottles) or native Linux apps), there are plenty of alternatives that do work.

alternativeto.net is a great resource you can search πŸ’ͺ😎

Oh the difference between Locks (Public Keys) and Keys (Private Key)?

I've read someone else use that analogy, and it is just perfect if you ask me! πŸ’ͺ😎
