    Contrary to the idea that most of these new users come from steam decks, I’ve had 3 of my friends switch to or at least partially use linux. We are certainly growing.

      Microsoft has made their os so annoying and I loath when their updates revert settings that took me an hour to find in the first place. Or worse, remove the settings and features I liked to shove some more bs ads and data harvesting down my throat.

      So yeah, I’m planning on downloading Linux mint to a flash drive and giving it a try on one of my laptops this month.

        A windows update broke my computer. My system image I made using Windows couldn’t restore. I have zero faith in windows. The culprit was something like an update that fucked driver signatures.
