I’ll look into Mint. I need something that will work well with games (I’ve been a gamer my whole life) and OBS for my streams.

And not retired yet. Just old.

And that mon ami, is why I’m even considering going back to Linux. I will admit one reason I’m hesitant is that I’m a senior citizen now (fuck it feels weird to actually say that out loud), and I’m concerned about how well I can learn a new operating system. Mind you, they say mental challenges help keep the brain young :D

My big issue was that every time I wanted to use software that wasn’t native to Linux it could take up to two weeks of forum hunting, Google searches, and just plain hair tearing to find out how to do something.

Getting Eve Online to run wound up requiring a font install and deleting the in-game music folder. Not the things you expect an average or even better than average user to know or expect to do.

And that is just one of the instances that stick in my memory

Absofuckinglutely not.

And I say this as a dedicated Windows user who spent a year on Ubuntu Linux a decade ago and hated it. Windows does this, and sign me up for penguin lessons.
