I may just switch to another distribution in the future when I have the time. I think I’m also traumatized by windows.
Usually I have to schedule an entire day reformatting and updating windows. Compared to setting up Mint the first time which took maybe a couple hours. A lot of that time was going through the settings just to set things to my preferences.
Still can’t shake the feeling of dread about installing a new OS when deep down inside I know it’s not so bad hahaha
