  It might be for me. Or at least sometime. When win10 support will be dropped or whatever I might eventually make Linux my main OS. ~Just a matter of time😅

    if you wanna get familiar with linux you should try it on a virtual machine and since your a newbie your first distro should be linux mint as its ui is quite easy to understand or try it out on your own machine via a live usb

  If Microsoft can’t figure out how to unlock the taskbar in Win11 so over/under monitor layouts can work (taskbar being bottom/bottom top/top), it will be for me. Drive me up a wall that the whole point of Win11 was a better UI, and basic fucking customization is dropped. I didn’t buy a Mac, don’t try and tell me how I am supposed to set up my desktops.

  The year of the four linux desktops, I hope! (I have 3, but two need to go to the landfill).
