Those of you who still use windows for one reason or more, where do you draw the line about the shitty things microsoft is doing? By drawing the line I mean using some other operating system no matter how bothersome it might be.

Not judging or anything, i’m just curious where the general mindset is about it.

    you cant brick computer just by installing operating system. That happens if bios breaks but mostly there is no reason to mess with that.

      Sooo… you say I should. What if I’m not entirely tech illiterate but enough and too confident that I fuck up the BIOS inadvertently?

      I’m gonna do it… I’m gonna install Mint tomorrow.

      Thank you for giving me the push

        You always have the option to run Linux from a flash drive and see if you like it, disregarding slowness.
