Because you talked about my computer not supporting Windows 11?? So I clarified that it does support it and came pre-installed, and I would still prefer pop_OS (i.e. not relevant, as you said).
I can’t believe your computers support Windows 11.
I don’t understand why that would have to do with anything to being with, though.
Computer is new, win11 pre-installed. Would still prefer pop os.
I love winget, at least for the initial installation. No more having to search the the download and click through a gui. Just one or two commands (two if searching for the id) and done.
I have the save experience with popos
You don’t even need the terminal. There is a interface to update if you are using a DE.
My brother-in-law installed Linux Mint for his parents and they are very happy with it. The only problem was downloading epubs with Adobe DRM, so I taught her how to use knock1 in the terminal and then import the book into Calibre to upload them to her ereader.

Why should my computer not be able to supprot Windows 11?
Nice!
I work at a very small company, so there is no policy for which software to use and I would replace the one software that is Windows only if I could, even if I had to remain on Windows. The problem I have in this case is that we rely external tools that only work with this software, only on Windows. :-(
I get your point. I would asume that those who chose to remove adware and remove telemetry would also be the same group that use ad blockers.
I wish I could use Linux at work but the software used does not have any alternative (that I can use) and I can’t be bothered with debloating and all that jazz. I try to keep work and private seperate instead.
Ah, gotcha! Thanks

Install Pi-Hole to block ads but use DNS server provided by the biggest ad company? o.O
where we had some $ leftover
Prices taken from first hit I found. Total ~$10500
I’m not judging (I acutally somewhat envy you), I am just saying that $10000 is more than some leftover money.
Today I learned
Ah, okey! I saw the guide and thought it looked interesting at first. But then my wallet saw two GPUs and promptly said no.
I can relate. Last time that happened, I gave up or trying to find out how that works and just used another computer that was already connected to the TV.
BookLibConnect and AaxAudioConverter. I use them do download my Audible purchases. They are both written using WPF (or some other Windows API only GUI lib) and thus cannot be run on Linux. I might rewrite them using the newest C# cross platform library, but that library does not compile native on Linux, only on Windows… (Unless you use the community maintained version).
I did try to find replacement for both for them but their ease of use and the conversion tool for axx to m4b made it preferable to just install Windows in a VM.
As for WinSCP, it is a SFTP/FPT client that is really nice and I did miss it initially as well. But Nautilus file manager has both SFTP and FTP support built into it. And if you want a dedicated client, I can recommend Terminus (but I am not a heavy user, rclone in terminal does most of my heavy lifting).
There is also the option to use two GPUs (or one and not use it for Linux). https://github.com/mr2527/pop_OS-win10-KVM-setup
Why?
