I installed Linux mint on my laptop the other day because of various sustained long term annoyances with Windows. Despite some minor hiccups it only took about 30 minutes. It's been such a great experience so far.
I did the same. Windows 11 ads and one drive forced me out.
I've been on EndeavourOS (basically Arch.. btw...) for about a year and a half now, and I absolutely love it. I will never use Windows by choice again.
Did the same on my desktop computer two weeks ago, everything else is already on Linux (servers and laptops).
I am fed up on Microsoft shenanigans with windows.
