Swapped to pop!Os on my gaming PC on the 14 and not looking back.
Same, really liking it. Bit of a learning curve, but in a fun way.
I'm all for Linux adoption. However, seeing less tech-literate people feel as if they have to choose between an unsecured device and spending money they don't have on a new Windows 11 machine really makes me angry.
Most won't understand what no more security updates mean, and some overreact and get really worried.
Bro I'm not going to wait 15 seconds to read that article fucking cloudflare, takes years to complete on a smartphone.

I really really hope, Zorin brings up a screen and says that it has detected a "legacy application" when it proposes better alternatives...
After several months of experimenting with different distros, I just yesterday made the full-time switch to Linux Mint. I'm pretty happy with it so far, I'm just wondering why I hadn't done it sooner.

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.
