Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

I got an older laptop and set up a Mint dual-boot, just because there are a few things I need Windows for, but I'm on Linux 99% of the time.

I did find in the past that a dual-boot didn't work well on an old Lenovo I owned, so I picked Acer this time, and it works really well. I just don't want to have to worry about my privacy all the time, so Linux + my Proton VPN helps ease my anxiety.
