If you don’t want to install Linux, You should install plan9
I am almost exclusively one of those Linux weirdos. The only non-Linux computer touching I do is for work. XD
Same. Everytime I use my work laptop with Windows I feel like a boomer trying to figure out how it works and complaining about how ugly the UI is to me now.
I'm amazed at how long it takes to boot up, too. Especially after the login screen, it's like 5 minutes from entering my password to the company VPN app finally starting up in the background.
Meanwhile my 8 year old desktop (I use Arch, btw) takes all of 20 seconds, including both the login and the grub menu.
If it has UEFI, you can shave off 3-5 seconds by using kernel EFI stub.
Haha Yeah, Windows feels ancient. Maybe it's the speed but I also just think it's clunky. I'm also always confused when I try to use something and then I get a demand for a paid license, like, why the fuck would I pay for this?
I use a fairly new laptop and I use Pop but it's so snappy, everything I need and want works without issues, and boots near instantly. It's perfect for me.
As a Unix weirdo I grok you
Peasantry. My last 3 jobs were all chosen with the requirement I could run Linux
You should always have Plan9. In case all previous 8 plans fail.
