@Cheri I like Linux just fine but my last two Linux laptops went bad on me. First was a laptop from System76 with Pop OS. Hated Pop OS and it hated me. Eventually it just bricked itself. Next was a cheap HP Windows laptop converted to Ubuntu. Ubuntu was great until one day I updated it and got kernel panic. I went back to my Win 10 machine.

But yeah, if you're fighting The Man, Linux is the way to go. I hope you'll keep us posted as to how you like your distro!
