Last month, Microsoft announced that it would continue its put-ChatGPT-in-everything adventure with a new Windows 11 feature called Copilot. The company added generative AI to Edge and to the Bing-powered taskbar Search field months ago, but Copilot promises to be the most visible and hard-to-ignore version of Microsoft’s big AI push in its most visible and hard-to-ignore product.

    there are desktop environments that feel just like Windows

    Would you be able to recommend a couple, for someone who has for all intents and purposes never touched Linux?

    Honestly, the Steam Deck is what would finally let me make the plunge. Gaming has always been the thing holding me back, but after using the Deck and seeing how good compatibility is, if I had to just not play games that weren’t compatible with Linux, I don’t think I’d mind overly much.

      Any flavor of Ubuntu is a good first dive, but I personally like Ubuntu Budgie for various reasons, followed by Mate and then Xubuntu.

      Ubuntu has wide community support though, it is unlikely that you will find applications that don’t provide a version already made for it, and most issues can be easily solved with Google.
