    I just installed Linux and holy shit it is so much easier and more straight forward than a windows install. Really wish I would have done it sooner.

      It’s funny because while some of it has to do with work to make Linux desktops better, a non-trivial amount of it is how worse Microsoft has made it to deal with Windows.

        Also, some (most) annoyances with installing Linux, still, is primarily due to Microsoft managing to fuck things up in subtle ways.

        Creating an offline account to install windows is worse than installing 99% of the Linux distros out there.

      Which distro ? I’ve been rocking Bazzite for a year, and holy mother of christ, it requires less maintenance than my smartphone.

        That’s actually what I went with too. I considered Mint and Pop!OS but really my PC is a gaming machine with a nvidia card. A friend recommended bazzite and its exactly what I was looking for.

          Is it me or is it really something truly extraordinary? In the sense that it requires zero maintenance, it just works.
