  The penguin is patient and will welcome you when you have the fish / time.

  If you are unsure i’d personally would also advice you to start with a dual-boot setup, so you can always temporary switch back if you get frustrated with something (or are under pressure from outside forces to get something done) and dont know how yet.

  Normally when you return later with a clear head you’ll likely be able find a solution to your problem that doesnt require you to switch the OS.

  Just a suggestion.

  Have a nice day anyways!

    Once upon a time I dual booted every computer I had. Not sure why I fell out of the habit really.

  You’d be surprised. Ubuntu is basically download it for free onto USB drive, plug in USB drive, start computer, choose to start Ubuntu from drive, try it out, if you like it click install, and you’re done.

    +1 on this recommendation. Live distros are definitely the best way to dip your toe in the Linux desktop world without accidentally wrecking your system.

  Something less tedious than installing an operating system lol

  Jeez. I remember 25 years ago when we reinstalled Windows every 6 months to a year or so as a matter of course. It was literally recommended to do so because of the buildup of cruft and garbage. These days, people can't be fucked to download an iso and press a few "next" buttons.

    I’m not going to try and argue that I’m not being lazy, but the actual process of installing the OS is the least onerous part. Software beats it by a mile.
