Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? And bonus - you can get away from all the AI junk being pushed.

    Been on linux for almost half a year now. Don’t miss a single bit of windows, thanks to steam proton. Also thanks to microsoft for pushing me over.

        I tried Mint initially, but it had some issues with Wayland and some other small issues, so I ended up settling on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed after a friend recommended it.

    Ive been seriously looking into making the switch. After some reading I decided Mint would be the easiest transition and downloaded the ISO to try it out with a USB boot. Im sure its a fluke, but since I have dual monitors the display was messed up and whenever I tried to fix it the entire GUI went away on both monitors and wouldn’t recover. I had to force power off the machine and ive been hesitant since then to make the actual switch. Id hate to brick my machine right off the bat, just trying to swap display sources.

    Download a new OS // Download the operating system you want to install. Search for Linux distributions for beginners to get some suggestions.

    I feel like it’s better to actually list/suggest a few beginner distros than to tell people to look it up.
