F*ck Windows: move to Fedora or Ubuntu (lemmy.world)

Today, lovely Windows 11 installed an update. And since then I don't have internet access because Microslop Wincrap 11 can somehow magically no longer connect to the DNS server - to any DNS server. No other device in my network has the same issue. I've been bugfixing for over an hour and haven't found a solution. setting the DNS manually, resetting the network adapter, flushed all DNS entries (I used the commandline tool on Windows!). nothing works.

I don't have ANY more patience with W11!

I already tried Linux. I'm using Ubuntu Server for hosting Nextcloud and Fedora just to play around.

Do you prefer Fedora or Ubuntu? I have an old Thinkpad...

(And no, I will not go down the rabbit hole of Arch ;-) At least not for now.)

I’ve just installed Fedora on my older plex server that was previously running a very old version of macOS, I really like it. My past experience has been with Ubuntu and other Debian-based distros, but I really like Fedora. For one, dnf is much friendlier than apt, and I far prefer Flatpak to Snaps. BTRFS has some cool built-in features that you don’t get with EXT4. Overall, I really liking it.
