Sick of Microsoft? How to Make the Switch From Windows to GNU/Linux
Microsoft has made the switch to Windows 11, but if you are sick of embedded advertisements, constant updates, data collection, and rising hardware requirements, we don't blame you. There is a very real possibility your Windows 10 machine can't even upgrade to the next iteration of Windows, so what are you supposed to do?
If you have ever considered making the jump to a different operating system, now is the perfect time. But if you don't want to pay more for a Mac, it's important to remember that you are not stuck with the Windows-macOS binary or even have to settle for the browser-based Chrome OS.
Instead, with a little patience and some command line acumen, you can turn to the world of Linux. Despite what you may think, it's easier to make the jump than you may think. Here's how to install a Linux distro and then download and manage apps to get you started.
