How I learnt there are normal dot net runtime and Desktop runtime.
Lmao.. it hurts because it’s true!! Debug these windows stack traces in Linux, here you go!! Exception happened at 0xEBFCEBFCBEBXBDBBWBXBENEKWWLLWLFFMLW
My first Linux install, I downloaded some tutorial from somewhere, can't remember where (maybe someone on IRC shared it 🤔... IDK, I can't remember), and this is litelarly what it said 😂.
You have to be prepared when installing Linux. Take a week or two off work or school and make sure you have the following things at your disposal.
Find as many bootable floppy's and as many different dostro CDs as possible. Why? The boot floppy from Debian might work with Suse, but not the Debian CD.
Make sure you have at least two CD drives and floppy drives at your disposal. The more, the better. Why? You'll probably burn out the first ones while trying to figure out which boot floppy goes with which distro.
Have coffee at your disposal all the time. You're at the bottom of the pot? Pour that in your mug and put a new one on the kettle.
Stock up on as many different kinds of alcohol you can find, preferably strong stuff. Trust me, you'll need it.
I hate comments that are like “oh if only Linux could run Whatever” etc. You can have more than one computer (or partition), and you can have more than one OS. Windows isn’t going to divorce you if you spend time with Linux.
No, but it sure is annoying having to switch in the middle of doing something especially when you're working. (Also, there's that pesky thing that happened to me as well where windows doesn't play nice with the Linux boot partition and fucks it up) So there's always going to be a main os. If you're fortunate enough you can use an old laptop for windows. Or, if your computer is powerful enough run an windows VM. For me, Gnome Boxes offered a really easy to use experience of running windows. It worked out of the box, no special tweaks.
I installed Garuda on my wife's gaming machine last autumn, dual boot with Windows. I haven't seen her using Windows since then, and she said she hasn't. She loves it btw, says, even better graphics in some games. And KDE is an eye candy anyways.
If you don't turn on windows of course you won't have problems.
Even with good old wine, the friend is still not wrong
Unfortunately, yes...
