Oh man, I absolutely detest the way that Microsoft pushes, and pushes, and pushes to upgrade. Anybody who's not really alert will upgrade by accident.
Also the way they push you (when using tools like MS Word to start using OneDrive. When you do a "save as", it pushes you to save on OneDrive, you have to do extra clicks to get it to save to your local machine.
I'd like to quit. I tried about a year ago to use the Libre Office tool but there were some features that I just couldn't give up.
I should try again. I hate the Microsoft tools.

It has been apparent for years that Microsoft doesn’t care about users. Most people and businesses aren’t going to make the switch to Linux or Mac OS and they know it.

What can we expect from an outage advertisement company. Microsoft I no longer soft, it's hard. It's in that stage where it will suck whatever and wherever it can.

Always been a Windows user from 3.1 to 7. Man how things have changed for worse and the red flag gotten worse with its recall feature. Won't move away from MacOS and want to experiment Ubuntu with Omakub.

  1. Make Backups: Before making any changes, back up your important files. This way, you won't lose anything important if something goes wrong during the transition.
  2. Choose the Right Distribution: If you're new to Linux, start with a beginner-friendly distribution. Fedora is a great choice due to its good driver support and user-friendly interface. Other popular options include Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
  3. Create a Live USB: Use a tool like Rufus (Windows) or Etcher (Mac/Linux) to create a bootable USB stick. This allows you to try Linux without installing it on your computer.
  4. Dual Boot or Virtual Machine: Consider dual-booting alongside your current OS or using a virtual machine to get used to Linux without completely switching over.
  5. Learn the Basics: Familiarize yourself with basic terminal commands and the Linux file system. This will make troubleshooting and customization easier.
  6. Install Essential Software: Check for software you regularly use and find Linux alternatives. Most popular software is available or has equivalent applications on Linux.
Number 6 is important!
