In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. (blogs.windows.com)

Fuck Microsoft! Use Linux Mint

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Is mint still using that old gnome fork DE? KDE Plasma might be a nicer and still familiar experience for people coming from windows

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

It's a fork of Gnome but its well maintined, very familliar to windows users, and very reliable.

I personally pefer KDE but Cinnamon is likely a better choice for new users.

Not to mention, Mint itself is a super reliable distro. I use Fedora but keep my partner on Mint and she has maybe 10% of the issues I do.

Yes, Mint uses Cinnamon desktop by default, which I believe was forked from Gnome. I like it, although I'm using Kubuntu at the moment. Cinnamon has that Windows-y look and feel to it, and retains some of the Gnome advantages.
