I went from not owning a proper computer for nearly a decade (just my phone and Xbox, literally nothing else) to buying a used Thinkpad off of eBay, upgrading some parts, and installing Linux mint onto it in under a year. Now I’m looking at building a Linux gaming PC. Y’all indoctrinated me
Linux PCs are… for lack of a better word, Swiss army knives for computing.
Need a media center? We got you.
Need server software? Bro. Who are you even asking?
Need a desktop? We got you.
Need to open that hard drive? The app is in the repository for absolutely free, just works and the hard drive opens.
Corrupted?
No prob, fam, here’s a suite of recovery tools. We’ll get those photos of gran-gran back no prob.
Need to burn that disk? The app is in the repository for absolutely free, just works and you’re burning a disk for the family.
It just never ends. With Windows I always felt like I had to play “dodge the scam” with literally everything, even shit as mundane as ninite has that sense of “well, are they spying? Is everyone?”
