I'm switching on Saturday.
I’ve been almost-ready to ditch Windows for years. Now’s the time. My new neighbor is an old-school nerd. He hosts install parties at our local leftist third space. He’s going to help me switch to… not sure yet. Probably Mint. I can’t wait. It feels as good as never giving a cent to Amazon, Uber, and streaming services. Yay.

I’m about there as well. I’m worried tho, cause I do some Sim Racing and some games don’t support Linux, and I’m worried the equipment won’t work. I know dual boot is always an option, but at a certain point, I fear I’ll just default to Windows because it’s what I know.

Mint is very comfortable for a windows user! If you’re on even slightly older hardware I really doubt you’ll find Windows more comfortable.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
