Yes this works with powerlevel10k theme for oh my zsh.

I got different colors for Kubernetes clusters. Like green for testing cluster, yellow for development and red for production. Always taking a Quick Look before I do something

Surprised that nobody yelled Proton yet? Lots of Windows games running pretty good, some close to native, some even better on Linux through Proton. But here is the thing you mentioned which could be a problem: anti cheat. It works on Linux but depends on the developer to enable it. Some major games simply does not support it. You can check them here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ , for general compability check https://protondb.com , even non Steam games can run through Lutris with little to no hassle. Proxmox with GPU passthrough seems like a big clunky overhead in terms of gaming but maybe you got that game that will never run on Linux.

Thanks for clarification. I think I heard about Trisquel but to be tbh most Linux beginners do not surf the FSF website at first, they just google stuff and find a ton of blogs and articles and dive into the pretty standard distros like Mint and Ubuntu.

I never heard of this distros lol. I think distrochooser is a tool for newbies. If you know your mentioned distros it is not the tool for you I guess.

Yes take a look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sudo#Enable_insults

I like when my system insults me when I do dumb things. This is why enabled the „insults“ option in my sudoers config.

You’ll break things if you do more and more stuff suggested inside this thread without testing it. Maybe executing ldconfig was enough, but if you try more and more stuff you don’t know what you did. Linux is very hard to break, especially when you didn’t mess around with things like packages and libraries by yourself, there’s mostly a way back. But if you’re scared use the time and make a backup and a live USB stick with a Linux distro of your choice to rescue the system if something’s terribly messed up.

What prevents you from shutting it down right now?!

Did it help though? Same error or is the system shutting down fine now?

First line of your picture is a hint for a software issue. I would just google that.

Yes this is a kernel panic which occurs when something goes terribly wrong inside the system. This could be anything from broken software to defective hardware. You should observe if this happens regurlarly.

Gaming related: while true Proton put Linux gaming on the map, most problems are anti cheat related. Some games run even better under Linux IT related: this really depends on your job. I work 100% on Linux machines but my client is indeed a Windows machine with regular fuckups because of shitty Updates or things Windows does for no good reason or even worse no proper error handling or logging. Non power user related: most stuff happens in Browsers Today so watching Videos, browsing the web works the same and doesnt need that much bloat and spyware Windows delivers by default

Today there is no real reason to stick on Windows though besides mostly flawless gaming or shitty software which is not available on Linux nor runs proper through WINE

True but it depends on your usecase- of you need all the fancy new stuff and want to move on quickly you should go another route instead of fucking around with forced software you do not want. Maybe Debian testing or Fedora? If you do not care about the newest stuff I guess Mint is a perfect fit.

Snapless Ubuntu is called Linux Mint, no guide needed.

Its not a paywall. You can register for free and look up all the articles but of course wont get customer support. @OP maybe ask your questions just here, I bet most linux enterprise dudes got their fingers alot on RHEL/CentOS, me included.

Thinkpad is a excellent choice for Linux as Lenovo supports Linux on some machines. I am rocking an old intel 4th gen Notebook as sidekick to my main machine. Works like a charm and was cheap.

It is hard to adapt Windows habits to Linux for some cases. E.g. you sometimes use Adobe Photocrap for editing photos. Reasonable that ppl want to use what they know, so they will try to use it with WINE and obviously will fail. „Linux sucks, it cant run the properitary shit subscription software, going back to Windows!“ if someone really depends on such software then yes stay the fuck with Windows. For most other tasks there is a solution available. And for the fear of terminal: I bet most users never ever have to see or use it once since there are GUI tools available for such crucial tasks like updating. Mint does a great job in terms of windows like experience for beginners but also is a full fledged GNU/Linux distro. But yeah if you want to change to Linux it is not just the desktop that changes, it is a whole philosophy that opens up a new world if you are curious.

Arch.
