appreciate the response. i’ve already moved on tho. microsoft just destroyed the little bit of good will i had towards them. i’d already been dual booting for years anyway. and honestly, while not perfect, linux has come so far that the problems i did initially have were not deal breakers, at all. post install i spent maybe 2 hours figuring out workflow and pwa’ing anything id need regularly like teams. another 2 hours working out any weird kinks and its been smooth since.

two years ago there is no way i could have moved fully over, but new LTS releases are an entirely different ballgame than they were 2 years ago, it’s wild.

if anyone’s curious and considering it, for my work system im running ubuntu LTS (yeah yeah, i know. but for work i need the stability that comes from long term support releases.) and likewise for LTS, my gf runs mint on her work system. for our personals we both run cachy.
