    i didnt like w10 with already pre-installed software, from games to random shareware. Didnt like that there where starting to test ads in the start menu or that OneDrive had decided to start operating in the background without notice.

    I already had a mac, but didnt like that I could play most games, mainly used it as a work pc for design work. So then I searched and learned that linux was having many changes with proton and wine, and decided to give it a go, and I think its been 3 or 4 years since then. There are things, like graphic design work that I needed to re-learn, but it hasnt affected me greatly. I fully recommend it for most people. Running Mint

      Mint? Is it as slow and bloated as Ubuntu, its base? Didnt you need to make it LMDE to make it faster and lighter a bit?

        Honesty, not much. Granted, my PC is not bottlenecked in specs so I haven’t noticed. Tried Arch for a while but didn’t like it
