I hopped on the Linux train when Microsoft began pushing hard for AI integration and Microsoft accounts. I fucking hate AI and I don't need some corpo cunt looking over my shoulder and taking notes while I use my computer.
Welcome! Because we Linux aficionados are incorrigibly nosy and passionate, which distro did you pick and how are you liking it so far?
I went with Mint because my technical knowledge of Linux is very basic at the moment. I imagine I'll jump to a more hands-on distro as my familiarity with it increases. EndeavorOS looks interesting.
EndeavourOS is fantastic. It's my default distro because I love Arch, but CBA installing it manually these days. I've done my time with the Arch installer over the years 😂
And the community is great btw.
Same. It should be illegal for them to be forcing this shit on us. At least I only have to endure it on my work pc. No windows on personal devices
