Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.
I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.
These days, it’s a little bit janky while the new dev team tries to modernize it, but try out Ubuntu Unity on a live USB or something.
It’s pretty and it’s fun to use. Different, but not alien. I wouldn’t install it as a daily driver yet, but if you are having fun trying out Linux stuff, I’d say to give that desktop interface a try.
I recently saw Unity had been necromanced, I miss it to be honest. What issues did you run into that make it not a daily driver atm?
Well, they’re still working in Wayland support as far as I know. Some windows have double title bars for some reason, or extra large invisible borders. I have a portrait rotated monitor, and had trouble with wallpapers in general.
It was basically a bunch of little stuff like that, nothing major as far as I remember.
Awesome, I’ll definitely keep my eye on it. Thanks!
