Start today. Download VirtualBox (or equivalent software) and if you make a mistake, you can just nuke the OS and start over without risk.

You can always try Linux risk free in a virtual machine like VirtualBox.

If you like what you see, and you have any valuable data backed-up, you can try dual booting. That way you get to use Linux as your primary operating system, but can switch back and forth as much as needed.

I found I was dual booting Windows and Linux for over 3 years before I was comfortable enough to stop using Windows entirely. Switching to Linux doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing approach. You can take it as slow as you want.

That would be a great idea, and could even help combat climate change.

It depends on your country, your budget, your definition of good, and your driving needs.

A second hand Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt are more affordable, but don’t suit everyone’s needs.
An MG4 is a great budget new car, but can be out of some people’s price range.
A Polestar 2 is a comfortable option from a manufacturer who cares about the environment.
A Porsche Taycan is a performance car for a fraction of the price of a petrol supercar.

There are plenty of good electric cars. Don’t buy one with subscription features.

Windows kept doing things I didn’t want it to.

The last straw was when I had a 24 hours render running, and Windows decided to update and reboot 1 hour before it was done. I was using the computer at the time, RAM, CPU, and GPU were all at max, the mouse was being moved, I clicked “later” every time the update pop-up appeared, and it still rebooted.

Linux does what I tell it to, and doesn’t do what I tell it not to do. I didn’t think that was a big ask until Windows.

You are correct in that there is only 7.5lb of uranium left, it’s just that there is also a bunch of other stuff that used to be uranium too.

Can it be used for offline file transfer over LAN?

It looks to me like all transfers are over the internet.

It’s a good thing men don’t actually exist. We’d have quite a conundrum otherwise.

It’s about time.

Can you do all 4 at the same time? I genuinely don’t know, I haven’t had access to windows for years.

Framework has the option to purchase a laptop without an operating system.

My computer takes longer to get through POST than to boot Linux. It’s a little frustrating.

Customise the displayed clock. I have 3 monitors, a taskbar on each, and at least one clock on each. From left to right my clocks show:

Unix time (1695110535)
Full datetime (2023-09-19T17:32:15 +0930)
12 hour time (5:32)
Abbreviated datetime (Tuesday, 2023-09-19, 17:32).

If I wanted to, I could display the datetime as YYYY-hh-MM, ss:DD:mm. I’m fairly sure this is not possible on windows.

Avast! runs on Linux.

Personally I prefer to just avoid clicking on dodgy links. In the last 5 years I haven’t found any viruses. YMMV
