Don’t worry! Most stuff can be handled by the GUI these days! There’s not much that requires manual editing on most distros now. If you do go with Linux, I’d recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed (it’s a stable rolling release with an amazing package manager) with KDE or even PopOS (I’m mostly too lazy to switch to openSUSE 😛 ). KDE is much better for beginners than GNOME or its derivatives (it also provides better configuration tools so there’s less messing around with text files and the terminal) but it is a bit slower due to having extra overhead. While a lot of folks are going the flatpack route for managing software, I still recommend doing things with the official package manager and repositories as it keeps everything neat and tidy and gives you more control over what’s going on (and extra transparency so you know what’s happening in the system). Linux also has amazing support for what Windows considers legacy hardware! 🙂

Yep!

Sadly, they didn’t give me that option when they kept blocking it from my system. They just simply purged it regardless. Needless to say, I got incredibly fed up with it 😛
