Yeah every time I get on my laptop it's a little more unrecognisable and unusable to me. Will be getting in Linux as soon as I get a chance.
What’s stopping you so far?
Time more than anything, im only on it about 2 hours once a month
A good place to start, if what you do for those two hours a month is just a browser and such, is a live USB with Linux mint (or something like that) and then there is no commitment until you are ready.
SSDs costing $300 for me. For some reason my current drives refuse to partition. I got an old laptop on it, but it barely works regardless of what OS is on it.
