Reading all this makes me sad; and I’m relieved to have switched to Mac years ago…

Yeah, I've been avoiding this stuff the past few months by only letting my laptop online for quick essentials things. It's windows, I can't replace it with a mac so it's gotta be linux. Most online stuff I can do on my phone. But I can't put it off forever; I'm going to have to try the linux dual boot thing sooner or later. I've been putting it off because I've not used linux since the 90s and I really don't have time to re-learn. Gotta be done tho.

Edit - your semicolon inspired me to try one of my own!

Linux is a lot, lot, lot easier to use now than the 90s.

I've been daily driving it for quite a while now and have had zero issues even with constant updates.
