This is finally it for me. I just can’t justify this any longer and will need to dedicate myself to running some flavor of Linux permanently as my daily driver.
I think I’ll do the same. I wasn’t switching because of compatibility but I realized that there are only 1 or 2 apps that don’t run natively and I don’t use them that often
Which distro do you recommend? I haven’t used linux in a while, I usually went with ubuntu but I think that’s not the go-to anymore?
Lots of people hate on Ubuntu for Snaps, but that’s your own preference. Any of the Ubuntu-based derivatives should work just as well. I would recommend Zorin or Mint, and probably throw PopOS! in for good measure.
I left windows because of the ai stuff but I didn’t expect it to get this bad. This is literally malware.

I am no expert though I like Linux Mint it has a windows 7 feel to it which makes it a great distro to start with.

Ubuntu is still really good and quite nicely polished. Alternatively, mint and fedora also get a lot of recommendations.
I personally use ubuntu.
PopOS is highly recommended, I tried it for a bit and really liked it, I need to plug in a second drive on my main pc to dual boot it there
The distro recommendation is usually mint, but I’d like to know, what does your setup look like? (Monitor specs, PC specs etc)
It’s a laptop with i3 gen 11, 12GB RAM, and I mainly use it for browsing, torrenting and watching movies (4K, connected to a TV)
Oh yeah, then if you like the look of it, Linux mint is the best option
Lol, it’s not even a feature yet… And when it is, it will almost certainly come as an optional feature you need to opt into.
Just like, pre-installed Edge and Onedrive, completely opt in and one day a windows update (automatically) reboots your pc and you just got opted in.
