@hareldan
Come to the dark side. We hate cookies ;-). Switched to #linux_mint because of this. I started with dual boot, but I haven't used Windows in several months.

@veruhl this is a work laptop so the only other option is a mac.

(Not because we can't run Linux, because of all the other spyware we're required, like crowdstrike, etc)

I am seriously considering a @frameworkcomputer in the future

@hareldan @veruhl @frameworkcomputer Same, work laptop for me too and no other option. Just received a new one recently and I didn't install anything personal. It's still on 23H2 so got in before the Recall 😁

@veruhl @hareldan

Ping if something is confusing. Often online "why is this" are misinformed, or hostile to new users.

I'll try not to be.

I have switched to Linux Mint on my laptop and it works like a champ. I'll probably install it on my desktop when win10 dies.

@elexia @hareldan The only thing that hindered me from switching to Linux earlier was gaming. I used Linux Mint inside a VM. Then I discovered protondb.com/

@veruhl @elexia @hareldan yeah these days the big limitation Linux is high end productivity or creative software, like AutoCAD and Photoshop.

@veruhl "We hate cookies, we love mints tho"

Sadly, I can't move over to Linux just as-is because some pretty software I use, doesn't run on Linux (and Wine isn't a solution either) :\
