I’ve installed Linux Mint Cinnamon/Virginia on TWO former Windoze machines (IBM Lenovo Laptop and an INTEL NUC mini) and couldn’t be happier.
Why the trouble?
That crash that took out Win 10/11 machines last month? Also took out Win 7+ on the NUC; I’d already had Linux running on the laptop for about a year just to figure it out.
I’m not missing anything.
“I’m not missing anything.”
Yep, I’m nine years in on Linux now. Should have done it even sooner.
That’s okay. Your particular distro was one of the first compromises in this years Pwn2Own at BlackHat. Windows 11? Fifth. So you can continue living in your belief that Linux is natively secure. If you can’t work in Linux without the CLI, you’re relying on a volunteer community to keep you safe.
