    I have huge concerns about many aspects of switching, but they’re being overtaken by concerns about staying with Windows.

    Do not. Use. Mint.

    That shit bricked my computer for 3 years as a teen with an unpatched bug that impossible to ever download any file to my PC again, including any potential fixes. Spent months on stackexchange forums. No solution lol

    Windows has yet to screw me over that hard. (Yet.)

      Around what year was this issue? Both windows and Linux were pretty unstable until - someone correct me on this - 2012? Windows 8 was the last unrecoverable crash I had. Oddly never had an issue with Linux, but I know it happens, I’ve just been lucky.
