Goodbye Microsoft, hello Linux Mint!

[lazjen (Chris)]

I've been using Linux now for about 30 years, various distros. Settled on Kubuntu for now (was hardcore Gentoo for a long time).

I can do gaming (Steam), astro processing (PixInsight), data acquisition (kstars/ekos/indi and FireCapture), etc much easier than I ever could with Windows. So much easier to maintain and use. UI is much cleaner, and I can easily run with the 7 virtual desktops I've got on my main machine.

The Register has some advice for breaking the (bad) Windows habit - see article below, in which there's a link to another article advising how to get extended support for Windows 10 for those who need more time to migrate to something better (instead of Windows 11 and inherent submission to your new AI overlord).

Windows isn't an OS, it's a bad habit ...
