    I’ve always used Windows as my main OS, but I have experience with Macs as school computers, and now I’m exploring Linux. I gotta say Linux is probably my favorite. It’s so configurable and my workflow is so smooth now that when I try and use my Windows laptop instead I find myself trying to use keybinds from my WM lol. I miss my terminal! WSL is just not the same. I have to have Windows on my school laptop, and I still have it on my PC. My hope is that I can switch my PC to Linux when Win10 loses support. Hopefully Nvidia will play nice. But I do prefer Windows over Mac simply cause I’ve used it longer. I’ve only ever used Macs on a surface level, never had my own or was able to tweak settings and such. So idk I might feel differently if I had one. But I’m definitely liking Linux a lot more cause of the customization and no update badgering lol

      Honestly, I’d say don’t bother waiting for Windows 10 EOL and just go for a Linux install on your PC whenever you feel comfortable with it! You can always dual boot also for those weird cases that you absolutely need to do something in Windows

            It’s ok, you don’t have to do that for me lol. He did do a bit of Linux in the past, made a bunch of websites, coded and stuff like that. He just doesn’t want me to get distracted I guess. Plus I’ve got Linux on one laptop already so I can deal. (And i just figured out how to get Arch in Crostini for my formerly un-Linux-able Chromebook so I’m gonna spend some time setting that up) His heart is in the right place i think. I mean I won’t object to you finding sources if you really want to, it’s just also some family stuff happened recently today which makes it not a good time to talk to him about it, especially since i talked to him about it recently in regards to swapping out my chromebook for one of the old laptops from my grandma. I apologize if this is kinda incoherent, I have to go to sleep soon so I’m rushing to type this lol
