The entire French government is abandoning Windows for Linux. It is absolutely possible to change the entire ecosystem; just hard to hit that catalytic point, but more and more people are going that way, thankfully. Maybe they’ll even eventually find Lemmy!
I think the Dutch are doing it as well. I’m all for it, when I switched my laptop over from Windows 11 to NixOS, it stopped running at like a 100 degrees while doing nothing more than streaming video and light compiling.
I would recommend being familiar with config files and comfortable with the command line and bash. It’s a very powerful being able to rebuild your OS at will.
I would also look into Bazzite if you are interested in immutable distros.
I recommend firing up a virtual pc first with the distro first to get a feel for it.
But it’s E C O S Y S T E M!

Sweet, go Netherlands! And I also wanna move my desktop to NixOS! Got any tips or warnings for a first-timer who’s mostly used just Mint?

I tried it in DistroSea and just cannot stand the GNOME environment… I think I’ll probably just stick to Mint. Thanks, though!
