Glad I could help, if you're looking to try it out and have a spare usb lying around you can try a live version. That loads the OS into ram and allows you to try out the os. most(maybe all) linux distros have one. Fair warning it will be noticeably faster than everything due to running off ram. if you like it enough you can install it alongside Windows, then if you're completely sold you can use the live disk again to expand the Linux partition over Windows.

Here is the neon download page. It has instructions for making a live usb.

ps. i may have also undersold kde, they also have a whole suite of neat applications they've made for their os

oh jeez lol I've never had a Linux fight. I picked kde neon because I love the ui and neon is bleeding edge for plasma updates. being based on Ubuntu which I was already familiar with sealed the deal. it's very comfortable for Windows users out of the box,and can be customised further into a visual clone of Windows 10/11. I've had a great time gaming on it, very little set up for amd.

I just finished migrating our last windows holdout in my house. Honestly very painless and while everyone is different we haven't had any regrets. Eol for Windows 10 was a fantastic bogeyman.

Wouldn't every existing creature be in attendance?

kde neon and pam time for my kids. my 7 yr old is the only kid who knows how to use a computer in class, when friends visit for minecraft they try to touch the screen... computer literacy is something I intend to pass on.

A few weeks ago I realised you can just turn off ddg ai summary.

just a heads up last I checked roblox wasn't officially supported on Linux, though this may have changed in the last 6 months.

But then everyone's pc was built somewhere by someone. Smartphones could use the same model. It would improve competition between specialised parts manufacture, premade units could be priced according to the sum and performance of their parts, ewaste reduction when people can upgrade only the part they want. There is a lot of consumer upside whether you build or buy premade.
