      If I was responsible I’d learn about that stuff now but that sounds like an October 13 problem tbh

          You’re right, I was just reluctant because my PC is really old and I was worried adding more stuff would just make it even more sluggish.

          I asked my favorite AI and it told me not only was that wrong, but the opposite is probably true lol

          I got a dual boot going so I could try Linux and have a windows fallback. Mint went so smoothly for me I never used my windows boot.

          Maybe they were referring to the Microsoft Halloween documents? Which were leaked on October 31 and was basically a manifesto against FOSS in general and specifically against Linux calling it “communist” software.

      Instructions unclear, now I’m using the Windows terminal to launch Ubuntu and also have it running in Hyper-V. How does that help me if my windows is out of support? /s

      On the one hand, rare Microsoft w to help users transition to their competitor.

      On the other, they kinda yadda yadda over probably the biggest and most important part: choosing which of the billion distros is best for your needs and preferences…
