Yeah, Microsoft is always trying to monetize things that shouldn't be monetized. Linux won't necessarily be easier, but it definitely won't force you to watch ads in your application menu.

No problems that a person with "minimal computer expertise" has are likely to require editing the registry, and if they struggle with the Settings app in Windows, they will be completely befuddled by the vast array of configuration files they will have to search through for making changes on Linux.

I have minimal computer expertise.

This is the source of your problem. Unless you learn more about computers and how to use them, you're guaranteed to have more problems on Linux than you've had on Windows.

The majority of the Windows gripes this community complains about are unlikely to ever be encountered by people with minimal expertise. Windows is fantastic as a layperson's operating system (and many Linux distros are, as well), so your problems are probably user-caused.

This might be cliche, but the For Dummy's books by Wiley were how I started learning about both Windows and Linux when I was a teenager. In fact, they were how I learned that Linux existed and sparked a curiosity in IT that is culminating in my graduation with an IT degree in July.

The Gamemaster's Apprentice is the single tool you need for this scenario. Add in a playing card oracle and you can basically randomly generate a session on the fly.

You're describing the median, not the average.

I wouldn't have even gone to college if I didn't have access to a privately subsidized university. That said, $40k of debt for four years of education doesn't actually seem so bad, considering living expenses. Being able to live on $10k a year (or less) is impressive.

Technically every JSON file is a single line, with line break characters here and there

Anyone who tells you that gaming on Linux isn't somewhat experimental is lying. I think it's getting there, though.

This kind of "checking that I'm still orthodox" post makes my skin crawl. Who is "we"?

I haven't used Google Search in years (DuckDuckGo ftw). I do use Copilot from time to time, and it's alright.
