https://atlasos.net/ windows mod that does a clean modified install to cut out most of the malware, uses half the ram and up to 10% less idle cpu of bloated default windows, uses official win10 or win11 iso files, still need a product key
https://wubuntu.org/ ubuntu that has a cloned windows ui to help ease transition (if switching is an option)
If I switch to Linux will all the programs I use for Uni/work be fucked? (Teams, Word, Excel, R, etc)
Office and Teams are officially supported by microsoft in edge which has an official linux version
also someone wrote a wrapper for teams to be it's own program to not have to run in a browser:
there are onedrive apps and such if those are used
so all of that stuff works in linux with microsoft support
https://cloud.r-project.org/ has native R for linux
That teams client is excellent too because it just shows that you're always online lmao
