Since the standard is: “Don’t be assholes” I think thats quite allright :-)

I don’t know if this applies but I did the switch to Linux a coupls weeks ago (To Linux Mint, because beginner friendly).

I’m curious with tech stuff but I’m not tech savvy in any way shape or form.

Thing is, the in way to connect to my Google drive sucked hard. On windows I would install the program and be able to access it like any drive. On Mint there is a GUI way to connect to your Google account, but it is so slow that it took a PDF solid 2 minutes to load each page. So no way to work with that.

So I needed a solution, which I found by installing rclone and setting it up.

That was a stupid amount of work and command lines I realy did not understand at all (this was my time using the console).

My first trial (after 2 months) was installing something that was not on the software manger. With installation instructions writen for Arch. That needed Python to work. It stops feeling like windows real quick then :-)

I’ve used Windows 10 since it’s release. I had to reset it twice because I had a virus, which very much was my misstake. Other than that it did just work fine.

I’ve switched to Mint 2 months ago and I am troubleshooting a lot. Most of that comes from inexpeariance, but the point still stands.

Windows is more or less stable most of the time.

I did that 2 moths ago and rarley boot into windows any longer. It’s a learning curve for sure, and I’m at the bottom part of it, but it feels nice to expand your knowledge bit by bit.
