A lot of people complaining about Windows 11 here. I suggest giving Linux a try! It just works these days. Ubuntu, Mint, and Elementary are fun places to start.

"But can I use $MS_THING ?" Yes, if you insist. Just spin up a VM. But really, if work isn't forcing you to use a particular tool, there are better ways of doing that :-)

I'd recommend skipping Ubuntu and the *ubuntus. Linux Mint and Debian are better. Zorin claims to be Windows-like: https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=zorin

My thought was that Ubuntu &c. are more "just works" than Debian, and that would be better for new users. I mentally classify Mint with the *Ubuntus. Ubuntu by default used to contain more proprietary, closed-source stuff which, sadly, results in more things (peripherals, wifi, graphics, etc.) just working. Is this no longer true?

>>NoImma+J75
It is still true but many other distros have them too now. I've found Linux Mint, which was originally based on Ubuntu, to be much nicer and upgrades are easier.

I'm not a fan of Ubuntu creating their SNAP store which seems like a play to get a monopoly on Linux.
