I finally got around to giving my old Surface Laptop 2 a second life with Linux. I went with Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, and I’m really glad I did.

    … Linux Mint kept coming up as one of the best choices for people used to Windows …

    i switched jobs recently and my new employer gave me a windows 11 workstation.

    i learned the hard way that i can no longer effectively use the gui driven interface and i think it’s because i haven’t used windows in an real capacity for the last 15 years and my difficulty with it became clear to my management, so i ended up getting a mac.

    ever since then, when i read statements like the one i took from the article above, it makes me wonder if i should do the same thing considering my difficulty w windows as it currently is.

      gui driven interface

      I navigate Windows almost entirely through keyboard shortcuts, ‘run’ commands, and the search box

      Familiarity with any OS takes time
