      Probably a good move on your part. When they try to force windows 11 on me, that’s when I will be moving to Linux.

        Why wait, do it now.

        I jumped ship to Linux when Win 7 died, cause I’d rather be fucked by a rusty fencepost than be forced to use 10, and 11 is right out.

          Looking to move an older Windows 7 laptop to Linux this week, any suggestions? Feels like there’s so much.

              I agree with every point you make except for the desktop environment front end.

              While it is nice to install a distro with a given desktop environment OOTB, you can always change it, and even have multiple ones installed at the same time. This is typically a better approach to testing out desktop environments because you don’t have to reinstall every time.

    At this point, Microsoft Windows itself can basically be classified as malware

      When Windows 95 was in beta I would install it and next day it was dead. We finally realized that the BIOS was killing it.

    This is why I rolled back my version of Tor? So I guess I have to add the folder as an exception. Fuck Microsoft.
