Ow I can upgrade, I just blocked TPM motherboard side to stop windows from doing it.

But in the end I really would like to give Linux a shot, these days I basically only play steam game or watch a movie, most of it should be easy enough nowadays in linux

People will keep using Windows 10 even if Microsoft will not fix any vulnerability

Mine was when they have windows 8 out for free for a limited time. Then I wasn't able to go back to 7 somehow. Was already into linux by then. That just made me commit 100%. Gamer, CAD user, but still haven't looked back.

Weird everyone suggests Mint, when it's way less user friendly then KDE Fedora. I mean, I guess on old hardware Mint is good, but anything newer (like the last 4-5 years) Fedora is pretty much set and forget.

Same with gaming, Bazzite is a WHOLE lot better than Mint.

Huh, and i just installed it on my secondary computer (laptop). Maybe i should setup a dual boot on my main one soon and disable network communications in the windows partition, and then migrate ny files slowly until i can confidently get rid of that partition.

Mount the partition in Linux and migrate it all?

I personally thought I'd miss parts of windows, but the consistent bombardment of bing search results when I wanted to search my computer for a filename, application or just fucking anything drove me to curbstomp all my windows installs.

That and the ever changing settings menus, having to delve through shit sandwiches to end up in an antiquated but familiar window to change a setting was a fucking nightmare.

Honestly, if there was a bit more KISS happening within windows I'd probably have not moved OS - but Microsoft's never ending desire to change what really worked for so many years drove me to where I am.

You do you, I'm not here to convince anyone to migrate OS, but having some level of semblance and control - for me is such a relief. Probably some of the ASD + ADHD coming through but I'm sure there are many typical folks that feel the same way.
