Prove me wrong after your 4th ‘booster’ virus update. Bill Gates is laughing all the way to the bank.

Yeah, with all the big tech monitoring and data harvesting going on, I'm backing up data and going FT to ubuntu. Nothing I really need Windows for.
Don't choose Ubuntu. Canonical is in league with Big Tech.
Thanks for that. Was looking at Ubuntu just being the easy choice for Linux lol
Guess I'll have to do some research, any recommendations? I'd say I'm an above average user, I've dabbled/worked on Macs and lightly familiar with terminal, but Windows guy since 95. Windows version, not the year lol.
Pop!_OS, like Ubuntu, is based on Debian. It's a distro built by System76, which is a US based laptop/desktop manufacturer.
It supports most graphics cards out of the box, which is nice.

Arch Linux has an installer now and is one of the lightest installations you'll find. The Arch Wiki has the best documentation of any distro. https://news.itsfoss.com/arch-linux-easy-install/
I recommend checking out some Luke Smith videos before taking the plunge to Linux. https://lukesmith.xyz/
Thanks, downloaded Pop!_OS and been playing with it in a VM, digging it so far despite the limited experience in a VM.
Going to gather stuff, backup and most likely switch over the next few days.
I looked through the videos, if you had something specific in mind link it please. Otherwise, I'm no newb to Linux, but not a Linuxologist by any means. A few years ago I had a POS Dell laptop and ran Ubuntu on it as my only computer for almost a year. Ubuntu ran much better on it than Windows did.
