I’ve been almost-ready to ditch Windows for years. Now’s the time.
My new neighbor is an old-school nerd. He hosts install parties at our local leftist third space.
He’s going to help me switch to… not sure yet. Probably Mint. I can’t wait. It feels as good as never giving a cent to Amazon, Uber, and streaming services.
Yay.
Yo, so first of all, congrats on being able to ditch Windows! Second of all, I got hype-convinced to make the switch a few days ago and I have LOVED it. Moving from Windows to Mint (at least so far) was a breeze. There’s a tiny bit more thought overhead that goes into fixing things sometimes, but if I’m really honest about that, I had a lot of that with Windows, too, I just have decades of fixing Windows experience.
Mint is a good choice for your first linux.
Over Hannah Montana Linux!? Never! (https://archiveos.org/hannah-montana/)
Second this! Been using it for years. Not a single problem. It just works
Awesome to hear!
+1 for Linux Mint, it’s what I recommend to 99% of newbies. It’s simple, stable, and friendly.
It’s my #1 “just works” distro
Mint is a good choice. It just works.
Haha! No it doesn’t.

You have no idea how jealous I am.
Sometimes I look at my life and I feel jealous of myself. Tbh I deliberately moved here (the boonies, and a leftist / alt-culture hotspot of grassroot community living), and it has its cons, but… Next week a wool felter is taking me foraging wild plants to teach me basket weaving, then I’m teaching her the basics of fermenting food (for booze, taste, or preservation), while my 10yo kid is 500km away for her country-wide robotics competition. I’m happily trapped in a caricature.

As an American you can easily get into any country making decent salary (by European standards) as an English teacher. Try Poland, they accept basically anyone unless you’re Muslim
