Switching to Linux without prior experience will challenge even the most tech-savvy, but it's an investment worth making many times over.
I would normally agree with this but for reals, I've switched over "I just need a computer and don't care what's on it if it does what I need" types to Linux Mint, usually because they keep a perfectly good old laptop around that is getting Windows-crusted and nagged to updating to an even slower bloatier version...
...and I get very few help requests, and I hear "I'm getting used to it and I like it!" Especially now with how their Steam games will just work 98% of the time. I also hear that it's faster and more responsive.
It's truly awesome, and I think a lot of the fears come from past horror stories and turbo-nerd elitism haha.
There's still holdout issues, like VR or Adobe stuff, yeah, but it's going in such a lovely trajectory. :D
I appreciate your gratitude and I really do hope it does some good for others... Especially because I really hate needles but I have it done anyway for this reason. Lol 😬
