• How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle) [video]

  Tl;Dr use quickemu: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu (I've been using it for annual chores on windows). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS

  Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomment-1152222880) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma

  Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes).

• Wanting to ditch windows 10 in favor of linux

  In case some things you do absolutely needs Windows, keep this guide for setting up VM in mind, or use quickemu's GUI. Source: about 1 year ago

• DistroSea- Test drive Linux distros online

  VM will be shutdown automatically when it's inactive for a while. I will eventually add more distros going forward. Most distro isos are downloaded using the quickget script from the wonderful quickemu project. You may directly contribute to the upstream project to get the distro added to DistroSea.

• Microsoft starts testing ads in the Windows 11 Start menu

  I tried several over the years, specifically looking for a good out of the box experience, GUI-first usage, and one that's stable over time, and after upgrades. Zorin OS fit the bill the most. I think the landing page is good as well. https://zorin.com/os/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Introduction

  My first Linux distro was PopOS and It was a refreshing experience. It was really easy to install, use, and game on. I distro hopped a few times to see what other linux flavors are like. These are the ones that I remember trying Zorin OS and Linux Mint. These ones looked mostly like windows and it was easy to use. At work, I gained most of my linux knowledge from docker and configuring / administrating RHEL... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• I'm planning to go full on linux without previous experience

  Zorin and Linux Mint are two popular Linux distros that are very friendly to those coming from Windows OS. Source: 11 months ago

• Manjaro is a free and open source Linux operating system that emphasizes privacy

  ZorinOS[0] is fantastic! I switched from Ubuntu too and it was surprising how polished ZorinOS was. Everything was super stable and in the last 2 years, it didn't break by itself, which I can't say the same for Ubuntu sadly. Linux Mint too is cool but the outdated UI is the only deal breaker for me. [0] - https://zorin.com/os. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
