      I ditched Microsoft on my new build back in Feb. I installed Mint and it’s been a really smooth transition for me. I can still do everything I used to, although I know there are some use cases where it’s a problem for people. All the games I’ve tried run well.

      But it does give me peace of mind that someone isn’t going to change my settings in a way that benefits them in a patch. I feel like I’m working with my OS to get things done instead of wrestling against what some corporate MBA wants.

          Mint is the distro of choice for people who want to work on their computer, not work on their computer.

          Like I’m glad for all the nerds who change distros as often as they change pairs of pants and enjoy fiddle-fucking around with their setup, but some of us only want a computer that just works and doesn’t give us shit.

      Fuck Windows Recall, and fuck Microsoft generally for being so fucking awful to their customers

      Always has been.
