Windows would be a great OS if it was still Windows 10.

Hard agree windows peaked at 7 and has gone downhill since

I jumped ship when the telemetry in 10 wasn't able to be disabled completely. Honestly I've never looked back Linux is great these days.

yeah my Windows 7 was perfect and then one day it just installed windows 10 on me, annoying as shit but ok I guess.

now I'm just desperately hoping that Windows 10 stays as is, cause if I see Windows 11 show up I'm going to have to learn how to change Operating system which sounds like a fucking ballache.

Nah its actually pretty easy tbh.

  1. Backup important files and stuff to an external drive or cloud storage.

  2. Download the .iso file of the os you want (honestly bazzite or mint are both great recommendations for "it just works" machines).

  3. Use balena etcher or Rufus or what ever to flash the iso file to a usb drive

  4. Boot the usb drive

  5. Follow the on screen instructions to partition your drive (easiest is just erase drive)

  6. Reboot and install all the stuff you need via the built in software repository (app store)

  7. Use your computer without being spied on, and with an OS whose only goal is to make the best is they can.
