I get it. Im pretty techy and I have an old laptop running windows because I can’t get a solid state drive to redo a particular setup I have. Actually want to have two to backup another thing. I still use linux though and you don’t really need to do any command line. At least no more than you do with windows. My recommendation is when you get a new windows machine go stick linux on the old one. You will be amazed at how much faster you old machine runs under linux and how much less resources it takes up to do the same activity. If you want an easy one to get going out of the box I recommend zorin but if gaming is a priority then bazzite.
Well I’ve been using my desktop for a few years now. A new machine is not on the horizon for me.
I guess what you do is just copy everything onto a hard drive and then install Linux or something? I still want to be able to play games like Rainbow 6 Siege, and I’ve heard a little bit about dual-booting or something?
no again since I have my old machine I just install over the whole thing. I move files and such though that I need. its kinda funny but one thing keeping me from sunsetting the windows is getting an external drive which have become expensive at a time when I have zero disposable income. sigh.
