    Interestingly this is my path to linux, and Ive seen it recommended elsewhere.

    Move all your services to the cloud, or foss software (as most is available on linux). Then get off windows.

    Libreoffice Inkscape / gimp Firefox/Chromium Thunderbird Obsidian (for notes) Bitwarden Signal Syncthing

    And most of these have phone apps too!






  • I installed on an old apple laptop (Mac book? … Why arnt they just laptops). And it was fine.

    I did have to use a WiFi dongle (or teathered phone hotspot) to get temporary WiFi. I then opened device manager and it got the right WiFi drivers. All good after that.

    I think theres Something propriatray that makes newer Mac Books much harder to install on.

    Side not. Also installed on some shitty windows tablet that had a 32bit BIOS/uffe but booted to 64bit os. After much trial and error with the live ios I got 32bit grub installed booting to 64bit mint.
