  • Just dive in head first. You will likely find things you miss about windows but if you give Linux a fair chance I promise you in the end it pays off.

    My switch was first a dual boot but I quickly realized I was rarely booting into windows and eventually just formatted the drive to purge all Microsoft from my system.

    These days even games only built for windows run just finez if not better than Linux.

    LibreOffice is great alternative to MSOffice and most other windows software will run with some form of wine (wine is not a windows emulator).

    Freedom isn’t free. But it sure as heck is worth the extra steps to get there.

    Linux Mint is a great starter Distro.

    I bought a dell xps15 circa 2017 and it is god awful with Linux. I will never buy another dell ever again.

    Not to mention they sell proprietary parts and couldn’t sell me a replacement ac adapter for my docking station. They wanted to force me to buy a new docking station instead of just purchasing an AC adapter… Horrible company and horrible compatibility.
