      Oh fuck off. You’ll Luigi the open source people who offer a free OS designed for people unfamiliar with Linux but not Oracle or Microsoft CEOs? Surrrrrre.

      You harm the open source community far more than the average closed source marketer. Haven’t even heard of a distro that’s been around over a decade either? Poser

      Where have you been? Lol. Its been quite popular in Linux discussions I have seen around the COVID era. Started in 2009/2010 Used to have a suggested fee and you’d just type how much you wanted to pay, even $0. Looks like they now specifically set it into separate downloads , free for core version and money for preinstalled apps.

        ive used it for years but yeah seems like with 18 they are trying to leverage windows 11 popularity to increase users.

      Zorin’s been around for years. I’ve only ever used the free version. It’s okay, but I think Mint is a better transition between Windows and Linux.

        I’ve been using Nobara as my first distro for the past couple months. It’s been braindead easy and I haven’t had any issues aside from Steam Remote play refusing to work.
