  Mission Accomplished.

  I delayed Linux on the main computer for years for the kids’ video games and trying to give MS a chance when they were trying to be good (WSL2, Win10 forever, etc.)

  Now when I start the machine in windows, a splash screen comes up and literally tells me to buy a new computer. Linux has been lovely.

  Does “reset and recovery” mean “wipe the hard disk and put a fresh licensed Windows install on”?

  Not needing a license for a Linux distro means that’s straightforward without a special tool.

  HN crowd told me they’re porting to swift. When I asked “why not Rust”, they said the C++ code was very OOP, so it was easier to port to swift.
