    This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.

      My parents are now using Zorin os because it feels like Windows, and they don’t even know it’s not windows. For the vast majority of people who only use a browser it’s a no brainer to switch.

      I got PopOS a month ago and its freaking awesome. Cant believe how long I used Windows, Linux is amazing. It is extremely overblown by people saying it is hard to use

        I believe it is easier to use than windows, it is just old habits, I switch to Linux in 2007 from XP.

        Yeah, I had this realization a couple of years ago when I switched as well… I felt like “this is what personal computing was always supposed to be like before capitalism had its way.”

      Mint runs on a 17-year-old Acer Aspire One I have. Slowly, very slowly, but perfectly.
