I dont want to have to use what limited spare time I have to learn how to use Linux, I dont have the time its that simple. I have a pc, it just WORKS. Literally everything I want to do just works. I just want to have the start menu do exactly what I want, stop recommending me onedrive, stop showing me advertisements in outlook and stop giving us privacy invading features nobody wants.
just works. I just want to have the start menu do exactly what I want, stop recommending me onedrive, stop showing me advertisements in outlook and stop giving us privacy invading features nobody wants.
I have to set up my pc for dual boot, choose a distro, install it, get it to work if theres any issues, then sort out whats different then try and install all my apps and games to figure out what does and doesnt work from those.
Its not that I dislike Linux or have anything against it but Ive been running Windows since 1996, I know how to do things already. I just want MS to just stop being “helpful” and fuck off. The quest for ongoing revenue means that is unlikely though.
I might give Linux a try when my daughter is a bit older and I have some free time. I like the IDEA of it, but I know Windows now and already.
You do not need to choose a distro -> already defined as mint…
You don’t need to do a dual boot in order to test what works. Just use the stick to liveBoot into mint but don’t start the linux installer. In this way, you can test if the things you need do just work without changing anything on the windows HD/SS
But my question was about what isn’t just working, which was your argument prior for not using Linux and now it turned out, that you not seem to know, I guess
Just install win7
Out of support
Though a subscription for Windows to just be Linux is a silly premise

You just described Linux
What does not just work on mint, that you need?
