My levels of annoyance were so great they propelled me back in time to get a few more years to bitch about it.

I think you're right about getting someone to install Windows being easier. Was there a specific site that you remember being helpful? Or particularly bad?

Right now it's gathering dust on a shelf so it's not getting any less usable no matter what happens to it. I found a site with some info about installing Linux on ROG, but was immediately over my head, which is why I'm asking you fine folks for help.

That's exactly what it was, needing to make a Windows account to use my own damned system.

I have an ASUS ROG that came with Windows ~~12~~ 11 pre-installed. I tried using it once and it pissed me off so bad I haven't opened the laptop again. I want to switch to a Linux distro that's compatible with it but need the process explained like you would to Grandma trying to bank online. Are there any resources that break it WAY down? Like, starting just after turning the computer on (I've got that down already).

Edit to say: it has been pointed out that Windows 12 does not, in fact, exist and I may or may not be posting this from the future.

"Arse mezzanine" is a phrase I didn't know I needed in my life

I had a visceral reaction to this. If you've heard this in real life, my deepest sympathies.

Fuck, really? I don't care about the Chronically Horrid, but I have (soon to be 'had') a Saltwire subscription.
