MODERATORS
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)
For Uni I use Typst for most documents nowadays and sometimes LibreOffice. If I need to open a .docx I use LibreOffice for that as well. It does fuck up the formatting sometimes though so if you have an annoying professor that requires .docx files perfectly formatted you might need to use Word in a VM or a lab computer if they're available.
Teams works on Firefox so I just use it there (there's also an extension that lets you install PWAs using Firefox so you can do that to Teams as well).
For Excel, I don't use it so I'm not sure what features you need and whether LibreOffice has all of them.
R works fine on Linux.
