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 am a Debian man myself for servers. I don’t want any Canonical bullshit to break mid LTS.

    While I am still running win 10 I am undecided which desktop to switch to. CachyOS and Fedora are the front runners but man do I hate Gnome.

      I’m not a big fan of Gnome on Fedora either. Everything is just so big and needs so much space. CachyOS is a tad to new for my taste for using it as a daily driver.

          Seconding Fedora KDE. But if you’re not a fan, you could also opt for many of the other supported desktops (cinnamon, XFCE, etc.)

            Cinnamon is the way to go if you have finicky peripherals like Razen keyboard/mouse or a Wacom tablet.

      You don’t have to use Gnome on Cachy or Fedora. Fedora has spins for nearly every DE, and Cachy also has an option for nearly every DE on install.
