I've been floating the idea of moving to Linux for a while. I actually have it installed on a spare drive so I can setup dual boot if I wanted.

I chose to go with Mint but have been running into some issues getting programs to run correctly but the big issue I have is getting steam VR to run. I like to play beat saber for fun and after setup it wasn't connecting to my headset. That's kind of a deal breaker for me. What are some suggestions to get it running correctly

Would you buy one if they were more affordable? Personal experience I agree they are quite a lot of money to get behind the wheel of.

While we have plenty of gas stations to fill up with home charging can be another hurdle that's costly or impossible depending on the living situation.

I saw it had an update. For a little while it wasn't working right so I swapped to extended and that's been running fine.

Normal stopped a while ago but extended is working well

Sure does. I've been using it for a few months.

After the third time I hit my head on that damn fan. With a sledgehammer

Haven't had anything outside my bank that needed that

Could try my tactic

Change your phone number and give it to people only. Never businesses unless it's a trades service. Best buy and the lot get a dummy number. Good luck selling my information

Also online services get the dummy number.

Still try to carry too much in the house when I get home from grocery shopping

I was a sync user. Waited until the last day. Been quite until recently. I think I've had more conversations here then in my four years with Reddit. Something about the sizes of the communities made it hard to feel like a part of the conversation.

 

Hello. I've been a window user from win95. I'd like to learn more about Linux but don't know where to start. I had a brief intro when I was in highschool and recently I've been seeing more and more talk here on Lemmy. Mostly memes.

With how bad Google is finding good information unless I add -reddit to my search. Which I won't do. Trying to stay away from that.

What can I expect to find as a casual observer? Why does Linux do that's "better" than Windows? That's not meant to inflame anyone. More so what do you personally like better.
