>>777500Just install Linux. You'll figure out how to use it much faster that way. It will take at most 5 hours to figure things out if you stick to one of the popular distros and install a desktop environment. There are two caveats in the form of drivers and programs you can't use on Linux like Photoshop and Word; you won't solve either until you commit and set up your system.
I was pleasantly surprised when I made the jump:
The command prompt is a non-issue because you'll get the commands you need with the first search result.
Stability is better than windows 11 with KDE in my experience. You'll still get file explorer crashing or some other weird thing, but it also happens in windows.
Most importantly, it will be much quieter and faster, especially if you're using a laptop. Sysmain and windows defender rape the system 24/7. You'll be surprised your laptop can be so silent.
You can still use Windows programs because Linux comes with a professional virtualization stack. You can install Windows 10 IoT LTSC, strip it once, keep it isolated from the internet and use Word or anything else. The performance penalty is there but you can do it.
>i’d like some quick advice on some windows stuffI just used what they provided in /fwt/ to do that minimal install, seems to work.
