Are you more upset about the fact, that Windows 10’s death warrant has been signed? Or that your computer still works perfectly well, but can’t be upgraded to Windows 11? Both is annoying up to no Sunday in my humble opinion. Because like many others out there, I stick with what’s tried and true. But here we are, a solution is needed. First off: screw yourself into oblivion, dang Microsoft! And then, another option is Linux. With my very limited computer knowledge and a little bit of research I found out, that Linux Mint isn’t all that different from Windows 10, and that quite a few people who live on a tight financial budget are giving this a shot. And here I am, thinking, what they can do, I will do as well. Thank the good heavens for YouTube, let me tell you. I don’t know how many video tutorials I watched until I felt somewhat prepared to make the switch. Yesterday was the day and all went well, except Lenovo’s damn boot menu. This menu is a witch on her broomstick and it took, I don’t know, 85 tries until it finally opened up. In the end it was more dumb luck rather than knowledge or freaking F12! But I got it installed and working properly. Hooray!! Now it’s just a matter of getting used to this new operating system and my little netbook can continue living. Mint is my new flavor, and Microsoft can buzz the fluff off 😊
