I have a geek buddy who’s given me a standing invitation to switch to Linux. I learned on Windows 98 when I was a tot, so it’s hard to break the habit.
However, Windows 7 was peak, far as I’m concerned. Windows 8 was a downgrade and 10 was irritating. Windows 11 is worse.
Aside from the new environment, Linux would probably not play well with some of my favorite software.
Besides, so many versions of Linux. Who knows which one is best? I sure don’t.

I do... Trust me on this one. I have tried just about all of them over the last ten years as a Linux freak. For a first time user coming from windows Linux Mint “Cinnamon” is the best hands down. I even went back to it after trying all the others. If you can run Win 7 you are in like Flynn with Mint Cinnamon. And it comes boxed with just about every app you are ever going to need. I have only had to use the Command Line Interface when doing highly technical specialty stuff. Everything “normal” is full GUI and slicker than snot...
