So if i liked #Linux for a while, was off because of games, and try to return...
Tell me true: Am i an Idiot if i take a notebook preinstalled with Ubuntu? (for work)
Really split on this, re-invigorate my love for linux on desktop, or cultivate my hate for windows-adjacent distributions?
Had bad things with real Linux, had bad things happen with Ubuntu, somehow i feel like i should install an Arch by myself. But then i feel like i should not pour my lifetime into a work laptop either.
Try Elementary or PopOS
Look on Distrowatch.org
@professorsevier Ok, i need context - did you find my questions about linux distros or is this unrelated?
In general, my options are to take ubuntu or install everything manually. And since it is for work, no labor of love will go into it... so what to do, with my limited resources?
In any case, my new employer has proposed linux, for which i love him. The case that remains is if ubuntu is worthy. I had my doubts, but no recent history/experience.
@admitsWrongIfProven
Linux
I've tried more distros than I should admit to.
If you have a software repository you feel safe with then Ubuntu is ok.
I personally partition my harddrive into two or three then install a workhorse on one, a gaming edition on another and then have a third one to try out new stuff.
On another comp I use virtual machines and have about 6 machines I can call on at anytime.
