Comment on Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows
WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours agoThis is why there needs to be a support Lemmy for switching from Windows 11 to Linux.
Unless there already is and I’ve been living under a rock lol.
I'm assuming you mean support ongoing for people learning to adapt as they go? Because it doesn't have to be on Lemmy to find ways to migrate over and the differences, what works fine and what takes adjustment.
It would be an interesting community to start - one with rules that state the purpose is for people moving from Win11 to another OS only and not for any side topics, but anyone with knowledge can answer questions posed.
I was definitely thinking it would be helping people migrate from Windows 11 to safer OS’ like Linux. Since it’s likely to feel like a daunting process for the less tech savvy feeling stuck in Windows 11.
Agreed, it’s nuts Microsoft would drive their company off a cliff, but people will need white hats to guide them safely away from the Microsoft tire fire and ad/analytics.

That seems like a great idea for a community. My only concern would be about distro-specific things. When you talk about “switching to Linux”, you’re really talking about “switching to the Linux kernel with about 1500 additional packages that form your actual experience”. The flexibility is the best part, but i know it can be daunting for the new user.
This is also where we get a lot of distribution fights and pedantic arguments - there’s a lot of ways to do things, and folks love to argue for their preferred method. What complicates things further is that the nuances are both important and irrelevant. There’s atomic vs traditional, deb vs rpm (and the seemingly hundreds of package managers), systemv vs systemd, gnome vs KDE, X vs Wayland, and even recently lutris vs heroic vs faugus, and each of those is fine to use but will force you to do things a specific way that could make certain edge cases difficult or impossible to manage.
Honestly, I’d love to see a comm like this, and I’d love to contribute, but it would be to be pretty heavily moderated to avoid a lot of the pointless arguments that would derail the conversions
