Which is why I went Linux. Linux mint plus the libre suite has everything that a windows pc does. Minus all the junk and tracking clutter. 100% control over your data and desktop. impervious to viruses. Incompatible software can be ran in a windows shell called WinE. Best tech move I ever made.
Would that be an easy switch to make from Windows? I work remotely on my laptop all day and can't afford for it to go down, but my interest is highly peaked. Would really love to get away from MicroSoft if possible. Is there anything you would suggest prior to making the change?
Linux mint is light enough to be run from a usb to test it out with no permanent changes to your pc. The Linux mint or Ubuntu are the two versions of the Linux OS I have tried. I like them both but prefer mint because i liked it’s desktop skins the best. Kick around the Linux mint official sight. They have a wealth of info to read. And walkthroughs for every process. There are also multiple message boards there dedicated to Linux. My personal fave is bleeping computer dot com.
