Before installing Linux, I had originally planned to dual-boot on my main PC, but somehow a gaming rig from 5 years ago isn't good enough to run windows 11, which is ridiculous.

Regularly, file explorer just stops being an explorer for me. Window sizing and buttons work, but I can't select files or folders. I have to exit file explorer and relaunch it.

    also - for whatever reason File Explorer occasionally decides to think about life and stuff for a minute or two upon opening random folders - it just keeps loading even if there's like two files inside 2mb total.

    I found when my new system bogs down it is ai.exe hogging resources. Which is part of the Office install. I go into the folders (2 places) and delete ai.exe aimgr.DLL and a few others and the system behaves better till an update from MS restores the files

    I've got this creeping suspicion that Microsoft really wants everyone to embrace Mint but is too shy to just say it like it is.
