I work from home and recently a client asked what the best part of working from home is. Without a second thought I told him it was shitting in my own toilet. It's honest to God the best part of working from home.

Not to mention there is no way Microsoft is going to pay it. They'll find a way to pass it on to developers or to end users who don't get a choice.

Well it's the one I'm testing. Spun up a vm just to take a look. Still trying to wrap my head around some stuff but overall I like it. It seems mostly intuitive and the ui is easy on the eyes.

Thats super helpful, thank you!

There are definitely a of of options, but I think thats a good thing in this case. I've seen quite a few people mention Pop_OS. I'm leaning towards giving that a shot and seeing how I like it. Thank you for the input :).

I've had a few people mention mint. I'll definitely give it a look. Probably try and dual boot on my current rig and poke around a bit. I have a little experience with Linux but nothing major and the options are a bit overwhelming.

I greatly appreciate the yt recommendation though. I'm always looking for solid sources of info and am happy to do more research once I have a little direction. Thank you kindly :)

You're the second person to mention pop_os. I'll have to do some more digging on that.

I swear the way linux distros are named never ceases to crack me up. It's part of the reason I came here to ask. I have some experience with raspberry pi lite so that I have a place to mess around and learn, but aside from that there are so many distros that it's hard to get direction. Most of what I know I pulled from distrochooser and some light googling. But it seems like everything is an ad so finding reliable info can be a journey.

At any rate thank you for adding to my list of research. I appreciate it greatly :)

Oh I hadn't heard of either of those but I'll add them to the list to look into. I have some basic understanding of linux, though entirely through CLI and just little things like hosting searxng. I've enjoyed learning it though. I'm reading William Shotts The Linux Command Line since it seems interesting, but I definitely would like a gui for daily use.

At any rate thank you kindly for the support I'll look into these :)

I seems like the general concensus is Mint makes more sense for what I need. I'll need to do a little more looking and test it out.

I honestly hadn't heard of pop_od before so I may need to look into that as well. Most of my hardware I wouldn't mind replacing but I have a 3080, and dropping cash on a new graphics card seems suboptimal lol.

Mint was the other distro I looked at actually. Just doing some cursory reading I like the additional emphasis Zorin placed on privacy.

*rdit - Not saying that Mint doesn't in this case. Sorry i see it may have sounded that way from how I worded it.

So it is :)

Skyrim is one of the few games I think you could describe with sound alone and most people would know it :).
