The only bad thing about switching to Linux is that you can old do it once.
(Ok, sure you could switch back to Windows and then back to Linux again but nobody does that…)

This year presents a big opportunity for many of us to get user friendly Linux distros on family members’ PCs that are currently running win10 and not able to upgrade to 11.
I’m already a Linux Mint fan so that’s right where I’m headed.

I switched back to Windows, because Mandrake was frustrating, but Ubuntu got me back a few years later. It helped that I was into Richard Stallman and the philosophy of free software. There were a few Linux supporters in the local punk scene, too.

I feel like there’s a joke in here about Linux users propensity to distrohop being like a ritual reenactment of switching to Linux for the first time (without having to defile one’s computer with Windows again)

Keep Windows in a virtual machine where it can’t cause any trouble.

I already have it in a virtual machine: the past ✨
