    I have been slowly switching to Linux for the last year. I have 2 Lenovo ThinkPad’s and an HP EliteDesk running Ubuntu. I have my gaming PC dual booted but, for the moment, mainly using Linux Mint.

    It has been an easy transition and I am not some Linux whiz.

      Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.

        “Oh to change that basic thing? Control panel…wait…no…the other control panel, the real one…no …(searches it despite MS hiding it more than ever) ok now it’s in one of these obscure hyperlinks half-assedly tossed to the side…which opens a dialogue…with 4 tabs…after you click “advanced”…THERE I turned off Fastboot for you.”

        I can’t believe that’s how I used to have to do things lmao.

          The scariest thing they can do to Linux now market-wise is to bring back Windows 2000’s UI and paradigm and cleanliness, but with modern kernel and drivers and functionality.

          Thankfully they are too dumb for that.

        Unfortunately, since I refuse to use any iShit products, I can troubleshoot Windows or Linux just fine. Don’t ask me about iOS. It’s nothing but a PITA
