Just wait till you click and drag everything out of the One Drive folder onto your desktop, only to realize that the fucking desktop is also One Drive
That was super annoying to realize.
Recently realized when I drag to one drive, it moves the file, but when dragging out it copies. Perfect blend of data loss and anti-customer practices.
At least penguin won’t stole your data.
I won’t steal your data either.
I will, however, split your firewood.

Can confirm. I will not steal your data.
Thank you for not stealing data.
It is time for penguin.
If you are hesitant, try it on an old machine first. (If you have one)
Help, I’m now using the old machine as my daily PC and negletting the slopmachine! It has been months…
And it probably feels faster than the slop machine
Would you like any help picking a distro?
Any criteria? If newbie, there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint. If experienced, still there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint.
Edit: Oh dang, you were offering help. Thanks, I’m good. Could be useful for anyone who seeks help though.
For gaming or regular use? I’ve tried both Bazzite and CachyOS on my gaming laptop. Even if I wasn’t a tinkerer I would choose CachyOS any day for gaming. Mint over Ubuntu for regular use. My 2 cents
You can game just fine on any distribution.
You certainly can and I have several distros, but Cachy seems to be well suited with gaming. I am very sure I could tweak Mint to be comparable, but out of the box Cachy is a better gamer. One or two clicks and it’s all set.
One or two clicks and it’s all set.
But it’s the same on Mint. I don’t get it, What are the particular advantages of Cachy?
Is it the same on Mint? It isn’t for me. On Cachy, the welcome screen has a pick for Apps/Tweaks, then “Install gaming packages”. That’s the difference.
Mint has a welcome screen, but it is very generic. Driver manager, software manager, etc. Sure you can install everything to make it work fine, but Cachy leads you straight into it with that one click and you are gaming within two minutes of OS load. Mint will take a bit longer. And I think it removes some of the package guesswork as well, especially for new users.
