No. Don't worry, they moved the controls to the edge browser! Isn't that great ๐Ÿ˜ƒ? ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘.

This will bring so many people to Linux and will force so many others to start their own OSes.

Unfortunately, most Windows users are not tech savy and will never move to Linux, regardless of how user-friendly Linux becomes. It would take large-scale retailers switching their computers to have Linux pre-installed instead of Windows before any meaningful transition happens.

Not tech savy person here who's interested in switching to Linux but afraid of fucking it up and the one guy I knew in real life who used Linux and would've helped me out died during covid so I'm on my own.

My old computer won't support windows 11 and I'm not in a position to upgrade my hardware. I've been poking around trying learn about linux but I'm more of a hands on learner so basically I'm going to have to learn as I go which is quite scary for someone who's never even seen a computer running it.

Ask ChatGPT. 3.5 should know it. I know I could install FreeBSD because of it.
