Image is a meme with the caption: "friendship ended with Windows, now Linux is my best friend". Image shows two men shaking hands. One man's face is the Linux penguin. There are two icons below of the Windows logo that are crossed out.

Went with Mint. Seemed user friendly for someone new and is great so far.

    Yes the Mint trial version is free for 3 months, then you have to create a Linux account and signup on their website to purchase activation key for the full upgrade to unlock changing themes and recieving updates unless you're okay with occasional popup reminders every 2-minutes that your Linux copy has not been activated. /s lol

    I know this is a joke. I know that. But I keep thinking of switching to Mint, and now there's going to be a part of my brain saying: "wait, there was some reason not to do that... I don't remember what, but it sounded pretty bad..."

    Holy fuck. I am someone with Win 10 and was thinking about trying Linux Mint and then your post made me say WTF, should I investigate something else?

    I’m glad the /s was added because it seemed wrong, but then I was second guessing. Absolutely hilarious though! Got me to laugh after.
