??? Took the same amount of time as any windows set up. Why would this even come close to the amount of times it would take for me to learn an entirely new operating system?
I plan to make a Linux drive to learn and test different software in but I'm not about to make that kind of blind leap without trying it out first.
I appreciate all the encouragement to make the switch but until I pull the trigger I'd like my current Windows OS to run as unmolested as possible.๐ป
Linux never asked my mother's maiden name nor insisted on creating a cloud account just to log into my computer.
Also, many distros of Linux come with all the main baseline productive software one should need on a live boot media, ain't even gotta install it to try it out.
So you can install Linux but you couldn't figure out how to use Rufus to install Windows? Figures
Who said I can't figure out how to install Windows? I don't want Windows anymore.
The very first thing I did when I got my laptop that shipped with Windows 10 was format it and install Linux.
It's a shame that I can't transfer the Windows key in the firmware to someone that could use it โน๏ธ
