you’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy

I’m glad I already moved to Linux for 2 years

    Nope. Not paying a subscription for an OS. My next PC is officially going to be Linux!

    Only reason I haven’t yet is I’m lazy and not in the mood to make the huge leap. I can and will mess up the simplest instructions, so I’ll be trying to fix my own screw up for a week, whatever I mess up.

    Subscription is too far though. Bye, Windows!

      To be honest, install is easy, and if you just go with flat packs and app images you probably won’t have to mess with much. Sure you could be crazy and use Arch if you wanna tinker with everything, but mint, bazzite, and others are pretty stable and simple. Just a small amount of “which suits my needs/wants best” before you install.

      But now is not a great time to try and build a computer so… womp

      Just back up your important data! Always backup before messing with operating systems or partitioning.
