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.)
It’s typically not a good idea to install a DE that is not supported by your distribution, Mint just repackages upstream gnome - is it ubuntu’s vanilla gnome or debian’s btw? Either way you’re just ending up with an old ass GNOME package that’s untested on your distro.
If you’re interested in GNOME get a distro that ships it and supports it, which is pretty much all of them minus Mint.
