This got me to convince my wife to switch to Linux again. She had the last Windows device in our household. She needed it for proprietary kitchen planners.

Now she’s ranting about enshittification.

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.

Depending on the software you need and how technical you are, Wine and Bottles may be a solution to not need an VM.

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?

Microsoft is the “Linux salesman of the year” because most people switching to Linux do it just because Windows has become so terrible.
