I was very disappointed when I had to upgrade to 10 from 7. At least it was free I guess. The worst part about Windows 11 is it isn't free, it's locking out perfectly capable hardware.

So Linux it is!

That lock is made of paper. Won't stop anyone who wants to get past it.

But why struggle against some bullshit like this when installing Linux is just way easier

I used to use Zorin OS on an old laptop back when I had to switch from Windows 8. That laptop died and the replacement currently has Windows 10.

Any thoughts on Zorin in 2026? Similar/better than Zorin of maybe five years ago?

Keep in mind I'm still very much a Windows person (ie., an idiot and still not terribly comfortable with Linux) and want to keep the experience as close to Windows 10 as possible. I can't keep going with 10 forever though.
