Microsoft has persuaded me to get a Linux PC.
35% subscription increases on Office 365, Bing search taking over Google Chrome, never ending system updates.
Unwanted 'features' like AI and Copilot installed, with no options to opt out, enough is enough!
I am convinced Microsoft now only concentrates on revenue, b****r the users!
I have a spare Dell Optiplex 7040 micro, and have just installed Linux Mint, with no major hassles.
If all goes well I will install Linux on my desktop PC and, after negotiation, on my wife's PC.
Google Chrome installed and instantly synced all my bookmarks, passwords etc.
I can use Google Docs instead of Office 365, and a bunch of other stuff.
My Seestar S50 runs on my Android tablet, Synscan Pro also for my AZ-GTi mount.
Stellarium runs on Linux and Android, I'm sure lots of other stuff too.
I understand that I can setup a Linux Virtual Machine to run other stuff if needed.
SkyTools V4, etc.
I have yet to find a deal breaker in terms of apps or programs that I will no longer be able to use.
If anyone else has travelled this path and can provide advice and tips, please do!
