  • I predict a similar future and it is why I decided to come to Mint rather than another begrudging Windows upgrade (I was staunchly against Windows 10, but upgraded to it anyway because at that time in life I needed a new laptop, and it came with Windows 10 installed and during that stage I had bigger things on my plate than what operating system I was using/how to install and operate a new one).

    While I am only taking baby steps into the Linux environment now, I hope that by the time the walls really start to close in, I will be technically adept enough to join the more hardcore holdouts.












  • I am thinking I might try Linux Mint on the laptop but I’m kind of terrified of blowing it up or wiping data. My laptop is getting old and I will likely be building a replacement desktop soon.

    But it is a gaming laptop and has strange interactions with heat and fan speed and glowy keyboard lights and I’m afraid I’ll disable some safety feature or accidentally break wifi compatibility irreversibily if I tinker too much.
