    Okay look, when my current drive fails I’m never EVER reinstalling Microsoft,cand I’m not getting another Microsoft computer. Macos was never even an option…

    So One Day™ I will chomp down hard on that cracker…

    I even broke out my old laptops to see if I could salvage an hdd to give current laptop (with space for an extra hard drive) a separate (if smaller) Linux drive.

    Sadly all 3 were unusable, they literally freeze everything that tries to access them…

    But I pinky swear I’ll be making the swap Soon™

      Do it! You will not miss Microslop. I’ve been running Linux for about a year now and do not miss Windows. There’s some learning to do and some things may take a little work to work right but thats being resolved more and more every day and its worth it. I run my main gaming PC on CachyOS and my media server on Mint and its just great. Will never go back to Microshit.
