Linux is here to welcome you
Man, I cling to Windows like nobody else, as I didn't have any advertising issues and such, but this will be the final straw.
It's already enough of a spying system but I refuse to have it as a spy on crack.
Time to read into distros.
I'm in the exact same boat as you.
After ten hours of research you will have learned that Linux Mint with Cinnamon is the one you're looking for, for an intro. Widely used, familiar, stable.
Feel free to read a bunch to confirm.
Seconded. Linux Mint is really comfy and intuitive coming off of lifetime of Windows
Yep, same experience for me.
