    Honestly not sure we should be referring to windows as a PC OS anymore, Microsoft changing settings without your permission doesn’t sound like something that should happen on a Personal computer…

      See that’s the elephant in the room: you think it’s your personal computer. Microsoft thinks it’s their personal computer.

        Remove the word personal and that’s what I always used to hear about apple, and you know what? Microsoft is becoming more and more like apple every day

        These days it’s hard to argue with that, windows used to actually let you control the computer… But those days are long gone

        Good thing I love using linux!

          I wanna make the jump to Linux. I worry about it but maybe there’s a good video tutorial somewhere on it.

            It’s something you should just try and not worry too much about. If things go wrong you can always go back to windows.

            One thing that you should understand first, most of the time linux tutorials involve the terminal, that’s becouse for a lot of linux users it’s faster and easier to do things that way, on the other hand usually there is a GUI based way to do those things as well (depending on what desktop environment you’re using it can be more or less likely)

              Terminal is no more necessary than command prompt/power shell

              It’s rare that steam deck or android users use it

            Just pick any linux distro, burn the iso into a USB, and boot onto the USB and see how you like it from there
