  • Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

  • Do they still offer a Win10 theme? When I first tried it, they still had a Win7 theme.

  • This is it.

    Same as a lot of people would be very happy with a perfect meat-free replica of a wagyu steak, a lot of people would be happy with an open-source, privacy-respecting Windows that runs on old hardware.

  • Hmm, partially. One real thing that I see now is cloud costs. All of the stuff we now have in our pipeline does inflate our costs quite a bit, which then puts pressure on the budget and that crunches everywhere.

  • Not everyone is the same. You might have left Windows because you want to theme and style your desktop. That's totally valid.

    But there are other people who left for other reasons (hardware support, spying, cost, AI being forced onto them, Win11 design being too different, ...). And for those people using a system that looks, feels and works similar to what they are used to can be very beneficial.

    Not everyone is the same and what works for one person might not work for another and vice versa.

  • It really depends a lot on what programs you are running, what exact version of Wine/Proton/... you are running and how it's configured.

    Wine is finnicky, but it can totally also just be bad luck, depending on what you try to run. Wine on x86 works quite well for me. x64 has issues more frequently, and combining it with Box86 to run it on ARM is more miss than hit.

    Also, Wine is advancing pretty fast, so stuff that didn't work a while ago might work now.

  • If you feel comfortable in Mint, there's not a lot of reason to switch to Zorin. Under the hood they are quite similar. Similar tools, both based on Ubuntu, all quite similar.

    The main benefit of Zorin is that it looks and feels a lot like Windows, so it's easier for someone switching from Windows. If you aren't switching from Windows, no need to use Zorin.

  • Zorin OS is a Linux distro. Linux distros are different Linux-based operating systems. Kinda comparable to how Samsung-Android looks and feels different than Pixel-Android or Amazon-Android (aka FireOS). All of these are distributions of the same operating system.

    The same exists with Desktop Linux, but the distros differ more than the Android distros differ.

    With that out of the way: Zorin OS is a Linux Distro that is focussed on people migrating from Windows. The user interface looks a lot like Windows, it's setup with Wine (a tool that lets you run most Windows programs on Linux) out-of-the-box.

    It's a quite decent starting point for someone migrating from Windows to Linux and it's a commonly recommended "beginners' distro".

  • Ok, so you seriously think you know better than the courts and the ADAC. That's a pathological level of delusion.

    The "hin und wieder" (which is how you say "from time to time" in German) was from your own link. You are just mad.

    You don't know how to drive, you don't know the laws, but you think you are above them. Get back to driving school, loser.

  • Infrequent means some cars from time to time and thats in fact not the same.

    Wie sagt man "from time to time" auf Deutsch?

    Genau: "Hin und wieder".

    Was hat noch mal der ADAC geschrieben?

    Oh, ja, "Hin und wieder".

  • Ok, noch mal zum Mitschreiben:

    Ich hab geschrieben: "In Germany it is legal to drive in the middle lane if there’s at least infrequent slower traffic on the right."

    Der ADAC hat geschrieben: "Autofahrende dürfen bei einer dreispurigen Straße den mittleren Fahrstreifen allerdings dann durchgängig befahren, wenn rechts davon hin und wieder Fahrzeuge unterwegs sind."

    Das ist eins zu eins das Gleiche.

    Hast du's jetzt verstanden?

  • It used to be the law that you should move to the right whenever possible. That restriction was eased to say that if there's at least some traffic every once in a while on the right lane that you don't have to move over, if you are on a 3-lane highway.

    The reason for that easing was to reduce the danger that is created by frequent unnecessary lane changes.

  • Relevant point: Driving in the middle lane in Germany is allowed as long as there's at least infrequent slower traffic on the right lane. There's been a supreme court ruling on this.
