    Every time I try switching to Linux I run into some issue I just cant fix and go back to windows, currently pirated win10 IOT LTSC. Last time it was getting the USB ports to recognize an ESP32, the time before that graphics card drivers, the time before that it would either take ages to boot or not boot at all, the time before that software I couldnt get to run.

      Maybe try another distro? Mint 22.1 works just fine right out of the box, and at this point Claude provides actual support better than scouring 3 forums in case you need small tweaks. Other than some proprietary fingerprint reader I never use, every machine I’ve used it on has been fine.

      You can just do a live install from USB and test it before even installing.

      Lies! Linux never has issues!

      My laptop’s Linux install currently isn’t corrupt and won’t boot, honest!

      Disclaimer: I actually like Linux a lot, JFC the windows hate is crazy…
