#Linux friends! I'm an #Arch user looking for distro recommendations that work well in virtual machines. My experience is mostly with Arch, but I'm finding VMware doesn't officially support it. Are there any distros that offer a similar experience to Arch but work better in VMs? Or are there other accessible virtualization options I should consider? #Accessibility #VirtualMachine #LinuxDistros #ArchLinux #Vmware #tech #technology #blind @mastoblind @main

Reeeeewaly wish that something like romance.io/ existed for Linux distros...

[Edit: Am aware of Distrowatch.com thanks but it's nowhere near as granular as romance.io is.

The ability to drill down according to various choices is what I'm referring too]

romance.ioromance.io - Find your next great romance book readSearch through hundreds of thousands of romance books by spice level, tropes and tags. Get infos about the latest releases by your favourite authors, read reviews, and check out our lists of the very best romance novels.

Okay. We're gonna poke the bear.

We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11.

We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out.

So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where:

  • we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits)
  • we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks
  • all our PC games would run
  • we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software

... where the heck would we even start?

Edit: Thank you so far for all the helpful suggestions and replies! We seriously do appreciate this, as it gives us somewhere to start gradually researching over time!
