    1. Windows is a privacy nightmare. The OS is constantly sending data to Microsoft while being used.

    2. Windows hogs resources. If you don’t shovel money out for new hardware every few years, your computer will run like shit.

    3. Windows is full of ads.

    4. The majority of malware is written for Windows. Not really a selling point for me, but it’s a bonus.

    5. Linux is free.

    6. Linux doesn’t force updates. You update when you want to, and it takes less than a minute to do.

            Yeah don’t worry, you’ll mostly be copying and pasting stuff from the Internet. Not much mental exercise, just follow instructions.

            The Arch Wiki is an amazing resource, It contains tons of useful info that isn’t specific to only ArchLinux.

            This is a choice as well. Some people like editing configuration files, while others prefer a gui. The big desktop environments like gnome or kde of course offer changing themes and wallpapers in a gui.

            You can look at some themes for kde plasma on this site: https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=104
