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 jumped ship around a year ago after similar update BS frustrations. I had tried Ubuntu a few times over the years but didn’t like their shift to Unity or later choices.
When I did make the jump, I ran Bazzite for the first 3-4 months as the immutability let me gain confidence that I wouldn’t break something and showed me just how easy Linux gaming has become.
I loved Bazzite but gradually encountered more things that were harder to do because of the immutability and a couple of software packages that didn’t play nice with flatpak so I pivoted to KDE Fedora and love it to bits. It still plays all the games I need it to and super stable.
