I switched to Mint about 2 years ago just to try it out for a friend who wanted to switch from windows who wasn't very tech savvy. Once I got everything set up I realized I liked it pretty well, it played all the games I wanted to play, and it ran all the programs I wanted to run through wine so why was I using Windows?

I got a new computer and just migrated the hard drive on over, and this worked but it did create some problems and it ran slowly at times, so I did a clean install a few months ago. I decided to try out Ubuntu and really did not enjoy it at all. I had to redo so much of the UI to make it how I wanted it to be that I eventually just gave up and switched back to Mint, but the latest version this time. It's been great, very few problems and runs a lot better than the version I had that was running on my old laptop first. Hell, some gaming experiences are better through proton than they are on Windows native weirdly.

Ah yeah ... can't really become immune to a constantly changing virus either 🫤 and it'll only change faster the more people have it

It's reasonably good although it has gotten worse lately weirdly. Sometimes it just completely ignores what I say or hilarious sound alikes come from what I'm saying. It is a lot better than it was about 5 years ago though.

I only capitalize things when my phone autocorrects me or I'm using voice to text like right now

When I switched to Linux I found out that the Linux alternative to most of my apps was just running my windows apps through proton or wine and they work fine. There are only one or two programs that I couldn't replace and I really don't care about them so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Proton covers most games that I play, only a couple exceptions involving heavy handed anti-cheat stuff like League of Legends has now. For non-gaming Windows stuff that doesn't work in Linux I would guess that a virtual machine might work.

My excuse for not switching to Linux for a long time was that it couldn't play games. Now that proton is a pretty developed thing, that's no longer an excuse. I actually tried out mint Linux for a friend to see how easy it was to use and I just kept using it because it did everything I wanted it to. As a power user I had to modify it quite a lot but my friend just wants to basically load into the OS, launch a browser or play games from steam and that's about it, so for him it's pretty easy and straightforward.

I actually ended up installing kubuntu on his computer and modified it to look exactly like Windows 7, which is what he's upgrading from. It's kind of scary how close it got.

I know right? I would totally get an ad supported free car. Who knows, someone might make an ad block for it.
