I have a perfectly capable (of what is required of it i.e Youtube/Netflix) laptop that will not support Windows 11, so when Win10 runs out of support, I’m planning on running some distro of Linux.

I’m a bit intimidated to be honest. I fear losing the ease of using windows (and all my PS scripts functionalities :( )

Honestly Linux is no harder to use than Windows nowadays, although it is different in places so there's some "muscle memory" to overcome. I'm the opposite though, I cannot find anything under windows any more without checking in three wrong places first!

Powershell is available for Linux. Of course, no Windows specific features will be available, but the syntax is there.

I am a regular Linux desktop user because after trying very hard to justify buying a Steam Deck, I just wouldn't use it. I don't game on the go and I have a nice big TV and sofa set up.

But the steam deck is so sweet.
