I grieved when I bought a used laptop with Windows pre-installed. I immediately performed a ritual of Debian purification.
Windows, or any other corporate MICROS~1 product dying is a cause for celebration.
I’m not quite sure how people use Debian on a desktop machine. Do you not fall asleep while you’re using it?
The interesting part of using my computer shouldn't be my OS, but the software I use on it.
That's what Mint is for. It just gets out of my fucking way. Most of the time I'm not aware that I have an OS.
