Yeah, because if I did then in another 5 years it would be the same thing with Windows 12. Then 13. And so on. So I'm ditching Microsoft entirely in October and moving onto Mint.

Why wait? ๐Ÿ˜ I made the move in May, and it's been great!

I don't doubt it, I'm just very stubborn and afraid of change

Then maybe you will love debian. Imagine an OS that receives mostly security updates and changes very slowly, that looks the same after a decade.

There will be a drastic change in the beginning, when moving from windows, but after a while, you will see how stable things will get

[โ€“] slaughterhouse@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Same, honestly. I'd been putting off the move for a while, but some friends gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finally do it. And even then, I spent a few days booting from a flash drive (to get used to it and figure it out, of course) before finally committing. I've only booted into Win10 once since then, and that was to troubleshoot something on my Linux boot lol

Instructions on that installation method are here, if you are interested ๐Ÿ™‚

moving onto Mint.

Yeah, but in another 2 years it would be the same with Mint 23. Then 24. And so on... /s
