At this point I hate Linux slightly less than I hate windows. My brain is stuck on 2006 windows for some reason. The only thing I needed a computer for was research and writing. I miss the free word processing programs before they were apps with monthly subscriptions (unless they were always apps, I don't know).
I know my dislike of Linux is probably because my already dying laptop had windows de-installed and Linux installed and that installation gave my poor laptop a stroke. Now it's wonkier than before. I have accessibility needs and now I can't easily arrange my desktop and the font size isn't easily changed.
I'd like to find something that is not windows and isn't Linux. Or maybe, I just need a new laptop. My current one is an Asus. It was all I could afford in 2020. I really don't want to have to buy a dell, but it's the only place with a payment plan .
@ShinyAmygdala If I can ask: Which distro did you use?
