    Yeah, I’ve been avoiding this stuff the past few months by only letting my laptop online for quick essentials things. It’s windows, I can’t replace it with a mac so it’s gotta be linux. Most online stuff I can do on my phone. But I can’t put it off forever; I’m going to have to try the linux dual boot thing sooner or later. I’ve been putting it off because I’ve not used linux since the 90s and I really don’t have time to re-learn. Gotta be done tho.

    Edit - your semicolon inspired me to try one of my own!

      I have nothing to add to this conversation, but properly used semicolons always make me smile.

      dual boot is very simple and stable, I’ve been using Ubuntu / windows 10 for years after following a 10-minute YouTube video and basically only switch over to windows for games.

      It’s a great setup overall If there are some windows applications you prefer or are more convenient.

      I never used linux and was surprised how easy and almost seamless the transiton was.
