Wasted whole day installing Ubuntu and get it to work on my laptop 😥
Now going back on Windows...

No-one can force me to get back to Linux

@meme because of linux itself or because of missing drivers or so?

Nooooooooo!

@bosi mainly drivers. My wifi wasn't working properly and even there was some problems with updates. May be i was not able to set it up on my system properly...

Try linux mint if you are lazy. It automatically recognises what driver you need so you can easily install it

@LuPaw will try it. Thanks

@Jase its not a failed system as some people likes it so much. But the problem is, its very hard to move to Linux after getting used to windows or mac

@meme

TRAITOR

@Linux better than being confused 😕 may be someday i will try Linux again

#linuxoverwindows

@Alt-Grrr will use it as dual-boot.
Will try to learn. But windows will be my main OS.

@meme, as @LuPaw suggested, Mint is better for starting up... it's also easier to deploy. As u mentioned, you probably had some hiccups during setup.
Your problem may also be hardware: meaning your system architecture might be tailormade for windows. (Which is highly the case)

A minute of silence for our fallen brother ☹️

@meme I had the same problem with WiFi. Turns out Ubuntu randomises your address for security reasons every few moments. I also had an outdated WiFi driver

@avedis will try mint too.
Yeah thats the case. It came pre-installed with windows. So it gives problems while installing any other OS.

You're welcome. (Hope this helps)

@shivayl i know Google has all the answers. I tried google too. But the problem is it takes too much time to setup and configure as per my liking so i don't think its beneficial to invest too much time in just setting up an OS.

@Faraaz whats the use of that security if i can't even use the internet properly

@meme you can switch it off 🤷🏻. Could say the same for "secure boot"

@Faraaz thanks but its too late dude.
I already installed windows. Will keep this in mind next time or when dual-boot

@Faraaz yes right. But i was not aware about this before.

@meme
Disabling the internet is the best security. Think about it.

@CWins if you don't have a computer in the first place than you won't even need the internet so fully secure. Think about it

@meme inb4 shitty black guy meme "can't have security issues if you don't have a computer" 🙄

Please switch back to Linux, I am pretty sure that you won't regret it!

Learning Linux should be basic for any developer hoping to do anything related to the internet in any way... and probably for the rest too.

Just use some VM for the linux related stuff. That is quite enough when the driver situation is that grave.

Also just ignore the Linux elitists. They will throw a tantrum whenever something other than Linux is mentioned.

I have dual booted my PC and trust me Linux is not bad ... But it's overrated !!

I did the same thing last weekend. Then factory reset and returned that laptop. Now back on my MacBook Air.

@badsector Sounds like a good setup. What about VM lag though?

@Makenshi yeah will install it using VM, at least with that i will have a option to switch if smthng does not work on one

Ok, I was stooopid in the past. I told people that it didn't matter what distribution you used. That's bullcrap. There's a reason why some distributions adopt a full open source approach, while Canonical has some proprietary code in it - fucking drivers.

So yeah, drivers can be a bitch. But that can only mean that in 99% of cases the worst case scenario will be when you have to find guides on how to set up your devices. In just 1% of cases just nothing works and you go back to whatever OS you've been using in the past.

But if you manage to get past that, and you only use that machine for web surfing and coding, Linux is an awesome OS.

I'm writing this from Windows. Because I'm a bit tipsy, and I'm gonna play some stuff from Origin. #screw_ea

As a Ubuntu user, I can agree that the first setups and tweaking will drive you nuts to learn and use effectively. However, as time went by, I grew to love the software and the command line.

I suggest you give it its time and love and eventually it will love you back.

There are so many people asking me to try again using it. So i will for sure, try using VM. ✌️

@meme that's a great choice 😉

Hope so
