Steve Ballmer once called Linux a “cancer” — it's funny Windows 10 holdouts may now see it as the cure for Windows 11’s hardware rules and the RAM crisis (www.windowscentral.com)

I'm not saying Kirp123 shouldn't switch now, just saying that unlike Microsoft with Win11, there is no pressure to switch to Linux, people can do it when they feel ready.

Switching their applications while still on Windows 10 to something that works on Linux is the best start to the transition. That way you are not learning a new OS and applications when you switch to Linux.

I think you meant

to something that works on ~~Windows~~ Linux

But that's actually a brilliant idea I wish I'd thought of before I switched. I'm converting a coworker, I'll recommend this
