Probably a good move on your part. When they try to force windows 11 on me, that’s when I will be moving to Linux.
I’m basically the IT guy in my village. Especially for my grandparents and their friends, so literally every senior here. Everyone uses Windows 10. Some, like my grandparents, are visually impaired and get completely lost with any change, so the switch to Win 11 would basically end their ability to navigate their computer. Some use Laptops that are too old for Win 11, not only because of M$’ arbitrary requirements but also because it’s already slow on 10. So in three years I’ll have much fun teaching everyone Win 11 or Linux Mint. Hopefully the latter.
Why wait, do it now.
I jumped ship to Linux when Win 7 died, cause I’d rather be fucked by a rusty fencepost than be forced to use 10, and 11 is right out.
Why wait, do it now.
Because Linux is a giant pain in the ass for anyone who is not a software engineer.
I think it depends, I guess you “just” need the right distro and compatible hardware (e.g. a Thinkpad). I started as a complete Linux noob too, but most problems I encountered I could easily solve in no time because a lot of things are nicely documented or someone else had them before and documented their solution on the internet. But depending on your usecase and other factors I understand Linux can be a pain in the ass.
