This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.

I believe it is easier to use than windows, it is just old habits, I switch to Linux in 2007 from XP.

Yeah, I had this realization a year or two ago when I switched as well… Like I felt like “this is what personal computing was always supposed to be like before capitalism had its way.”

Mint runs on a 17-year-old Acer Aspire One I have. Slowly, very slowly, but perfectly.

My parents are now using Zorin os because it feels like Windows, and they don’t even know it’s not windows. For the vast majority of people who only use a browser it’s a no brainer to switch.

My 73 year old dad has been on Linux for… eight years I believe? He loves it.
