Title I do not want a Microsoft account. Microsoft doesn’t need any more info about me than they already have. Thanks

    Seriously, Linux. It’s way overdue that regular consumers switch. How much longer do people want to be Microsoft’s bitches?

    Be free.

    There are quite a few distros that are very beginner-friendly, such as Mint and Ubuntu, Zorin - and my favorite Elementary. It’s seriously gorgeous.

      Can recommend ZorinOS. My mom was still on Win7 a few months ago and her computer was slow as hell.

      Wiped Windows off the drive, repurposed it for storage, bought an SSD and installed Zorin. She loves it.

        Oh absolutely an SSD. Especially now they’re ridiculously cheap! My first ever one was a Samsung Evo 840 and it was crazy spendy. However, it is still in the same laptop which is an insanely resilient laptop. I think they didn’t market it much because it was too good lol.

        But now, among my machines I have like two dozen SSDs. They’re so affordable and a lot of good brands.

        I’d go with ElementaryOS though because it’s just so polished and elegant.

            Yeah I have used Zorin a long time ago and I’ve seen it in recent times, too. It’s okay. It’s just never been the best available for me. But each user has their own needs.
