    Who “won’t” switch to Linux? Emigrating to Linux is just not as simple as these people believe.

    Some of us have our entire lives on Windows that will take forever to migrate with all the obligations and the crushing weight of work that we have to handle in our day to day life.

    How society would thrive if we had true freedom.

      It’s not moving to a different city or country lol. Upload what you need to a cloud and put linux on a usb and install. If this takes you longer than a week… Then idk.

      Only those apps that aren’t linux compatible is a pain the ass

        For a lemmy user it would probably take a night, like 4 hours

        For people who don’t know how to choose a boot drive it will take longer than a week to get the computer to where they had their windows machine, and probably like 20-30 hrs of work.

            Luckily linux does 95% of the work for you nowadays! Follow a 15 min tutorial on youtube, and pick Zorin or Mint. No configuring drivers, no setting up grub. Modern distros truly are a Penguin blessing. Want software? Open de software center and click install!
