Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up trying to download linux, understand it or while using it. Is it worth switching and how different is it to a windows experience.

    Except for most “tech illiterate” people, they just need a browser…

    …which works identically in Linux and Windows. With the bonus of not running random exe files.

      Uhh, no. Tech illiterate people might spend most of their time in a browser, but it’s not all most of them need.

      Thinking otherwise is just being out of touch with reality.
