So I follow some advice online and use skip package check and DR19 installs, but won't run at all. Then I think of using Win10 to at least get some work done, but yo, Linux now boots automatically, not giving me the option to select Win10, and I try to edit grab file and the error messages keep piling up. I want to cry in frustrations.

2/2

Update: I finally managed to install DR19 again

Nitrux drops the Plasma-based NX desktop for Hyprland, due to the discontinuation of Plasma LTS released:
9to5linux.com/nitrux-linux-dro
(It's a bit weird choice that they ditched a full DE for a standalone compositor, which is tiling in fact, and requires editing some config files manually, not sure if DE users want that.)

Kali Linux 2025.2 released with revamped Kali Menu, GNOME 48, KDE Plasma 8.3, 13 new tools (including Azurehound, binwalk3, bloodhound-ce-python etc.):

blogs.gnome.org/steven/2025/05

GNOME 49 will include Showtime instead of Totem as the default video player:
omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/05/gnome-
(It's time to make the switch I guess, Totem didn't really work, at least for me, it couldn't open videos, crashed quite a lot.)
(I remember a dev making an April's FOols joke that Showtime finally shows the time as the name suggests lol)

Linux Mint 22.2 will include new default theme with more blue-ish gray colors, to ensure that Adwaita programs look better on the system, XDG Desktop Portal XApp is tweaked to ensure that Adwaita programs follow accent colors:
omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/05/linux-
(Oh no Mint, you accept the widely hated GNOME standards? What are you doing? lol)

Linux Mint 22.2 and LMDE 7 codenames revealed, 22.2 will be called "Zara", 7 will be called "Gigi":

Endlich geschafft: Linux Mint installiert.
Jetzt das Notwendigste einrichten und dann mal intensiver damit auseinandersetzen 😀
Gewisse bisherige "Workflows" (z.B. Windows + . => öffnet Emotion-Picker) müssen noch angepasst/geändert/eingerichtet werden. Spannend wird auch der 15 Jahre alte Brother-Drucker 😁

Kauz

Ich bin #Windows-Nutzer seit den 90ern, habe nie ein anderes OS genutzt.
Vor ca. 4 Wochen bin ich nun auf ein anderes umgestiegen: #Linux (#Mint). Und was soll ich sagen, ich ärgere mich ...und zwar darüber, dass ich das nicht viiiiel früher getan habe. Ich bin super glücklich damit!

Bin übrigens absolut kein IT-Experte o.ä.
Allen, die keine Lust haben, die derzeitige Entwicklung bei #Microsoft mitzugehen, würde ich den Wechsel zu Linux definitiv empfehlen!
