You have had many answers, all of them revolving around Debian / Ubuntu. Yet it doesn’t give the “like-windows” esperience. It’s More like “slightly windows-flavored Linux”.

For a more Windows-like Linux, which helped me transition easily because I retained muscle memory, is Zorin OS.

There is nothing locked outside Pro version that you can’t get by installing it manually :)

Habeus papam, there is a NewPipe

Bro is thick. He just wants to hear sorry bro, can’t be done to justify the fact that he’ll be doing this by hand, because he wants to.

Syncthing has been discontinued on android (but a fork exists)

You should be able to do it. I dual booted nobara / arch / windows in the beginning

None ! That’s the greatest thing. Take the time to read the welcome message (you know that window that come when you first boot any distro) and follow any instruction. It should work out of the box.

Okay, I had the same problem with a 3060 laptop. The easy answer is : your next distro should be Nobara.

These errors happen because your computer does not use your Nvidia GPU but the AMD one. There is no hardware acceleration.

In Nobara, everything comes preinstalled and preconfigured. I didn’t have those problems anymore.

(If you fancy masochism, you can also go the Arch or NixOS way)

In the case of NixOS, the question would then be : “How much pain in the ass is it to install NixOS, really ?”

The US is a Republic, not just a democratic one. Republic means the power is in the hands of a few, which is exactly the case. It is not democratic at core, because votes mean shit.

To want out does not mean not to have your work recognised as such. It is still your work, you just grant permission to use it as necessary and attribute correct ownership.

I think that I agree with Lina on this one. This article heavily sides with Danilo and her initial message is clear enough : she asks to remain primary author. It should have ended there with Danilo saying “ok no prob, here it is corrected” and it would have ended there.

I think it has to be NixOS. The config language is plain demonic

Has “non techy” evaded you ?

Potatoes weren’t introduced to europeans in the antiquity

I have a Master’s Degree in chemistry, I can’t bake for shit. Cooking, on the other hand, I excel.

It’s a 20 years old console. Nobody expects Nintendo to patch it. Even less to play older games of a competitor…

I have found that sometimes, old games run better on linux via Lutris than on Windows. If it’s a 16 bit game you should give it a try. If it doesn’t work, VM might be your only answer.

This is the most accurate answer. I have found Nobara to be everything I could ask for gaming.

I might add that, if he also wants a normal desktop experience, separate from gaming, he should consider trying Zorin or Mint.

Iirc, Zorin comes with nvidia/amd drivers already installed and the experience is close enough to Windows that he might stay on Linux.
