  • I HATED it. The other thing besides my IMMEDIATE hatred for it, was the fact that it didn’t work. I couldn’t get the internet, or sound, or bluetooth, or a lot of things working.

    If Ubuntu doesn’t work, nothing else will. It means your hardware is unsupported on Linux because of the manufacturer not caring enough to add the support.

    And then it took roughly 30 minutes to boot. I googled it, and it should only take 15-20 minutes to install, and boot almost instantly.

    I think it’s because your PC has USB 2.0 ports which are like 20x slower than the newer ones. The guides are usually made for beefy new machines that only like 1.5% of people can realistically afford.

    The hardware shouldn’t be an issue. Especially since supposedly Zorin 17 only needs 1.5ghz, duel core, and I have 4 core 3.75ghz. Every spec they listed as needed for Zorin I easily have double.

    There’s much more to it. As I already mentioned, some certain hardware is not supported on Linux because of missing manufacturer drivers for it.

    Also I’m very sorry for the amount of toxic behavior you see in the Linux community. Going to Lemmy will probably make it even worse. Unfortunately it’s just how it is. It has some stuff to do with the demographics of the Linux community but that’s another story.
