From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have been putting up with the ads, spyware, and lack of control for years: this was the last straw for me. Couldn't upgrade to Win11 and now they're ending support for Win10?
Just wiped my SSD and booted Linux Mint. I'll miss certain games and Paint.net (slowly learning GIMP) but I can't put up with this shit anymore.
Check out pinta, I've been using it as my paint.net substitute when I just need to go in and make a few quick edits.
Thanks, I'll try it out
This is the way. Let your frustration propel you forwards!
