Ok, well, I was planning on trying again in a few months, as is my yearly ritual.
If you are fucking with me and I end up stuck because whatever the fuck distro I picked out of a hat doesn’t like my northbridge firmware, I will come back and in painful detail explain just how wrong you are.
Most people are used to a thing and they don’t like change.
I’m pretty sure a fucktonne of people are eager to jump ship from windows, but the fact that linux (os and community) is still user hostile is a stronger motivation for them stay with their abusive proprietary binaries.
I know for a fact that is the case with me.

I’m pretty sure the Linux community is user hostile? Because in this thread, your comments come up as overly combative and dismissive, like inviting people to pick a fight with you.

Well maybe that’s what happens when you try and get support from a community for two decades and get nothing but arrogance and elitism.

Calm your tits lol. There’s not no issues with Linux and nobody is claiming that but if you go in expecting Windows don’t even bother trying.
But if you do, I would suggest Linux Mint (Ubuntu or LMDE version, also try the Edge version if you have recent hardware it ships with a newer kernel). PopOS is pretty good if you float more towards Gnome, but their new Cosmic desktop is coming at some point so be aware of that. I would avoid Ubuntu at this point. A lot of people have success with Fedora. Oh and actually OpenSUSE seems to be a good choice for people as well. There is no single point of entry, no, because it’s not a single project. It’s reality however. Goodluck this time around.
