    I am afraid if trying to switch to linux it doesn’t work, but I need to. If you can’t download new os software because you deleted windows and the stuff you had didn’t work what are you going to do? My computer doesn’t even take cd’s. Computers sold around 2020 are shit.

    Never ever have only a single computer ready. You need a fallback to get access to help/interne and create Boot-sticks with it, just in case your primary device breaks . (doesn’t matter weather Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac…)

      My main one broke, the cursor and keyboard stopped responding and startup repair can’t be activated without the cursor and or keyboard. All I have is my backup, and it’s a piece of shit compared to the other that is admittedly quite old by now. I’ve a phone too.
