Right now my computer isn't supported by Windows 11 so I have some time. But seeing this crap coming eventually in my future, I started dual booting Linux Mint to see if I could live with it. Turns out I like it better than windows. I haven't booted my window partition in weeks. When I finally upgrade my computer it will probably be running solely on Linux now and maybe have Windows 7 running in a virtual box for the very few programs I still need it for.

None of this would have happened had Microsoft not pushed their corporate enshitification past my threshold. Thanks Microsoft.

Linux Mint is the shit if you want a to have just a smooth seamless transition from Windows or a Linux OS that just works.

I pre-ordered a Framework 16 laptop and will probably try Linux Mint Debian Edition on it when it arrives.

Debian Edition because I prefer Debian over Ubuntu.

What is your reason to pick Debian over Ubuntu?

Not who you asked but, Ubuntu is basically Linux from a corporation. They are forcing people to install 'snaps' instead of your typical .deb package. They are like flatpaks but way worse.

Weren't they also the first ones to add ads to their start menu, a decade before Microsoft? I'm not an Ubuntu user, so I didn't care enough to remember the details, but I recall something about them sending your search strings to Amazon to present you with ads.
