    Unironically, switch to Linux. Mainstream distros like Mint, PopOS or Ubuntu are very friendly for casual users, have GUIs for everything and if something does go wrong, the error messages actually have proper meaning and you’ll find tons of resources online as well as people willing to help.

    Most stuff nowadays runs in a browser anyway, so here there’s no compatibility issues, office is available in Linux through libre office and gaming has come far with steam and proton.

        I don’t like Canonical either, hence my recommendations for Mint or Pop being listed first. But let’s be real, if someone wants to just get away from windows and wants something that works without having to learn much new, this is good enough.

          Canonical have a long history of making decisions for corporate reasons, then using their popularity to try to strongarm the larger Linux community into adopting their way of doing things.

          Currently, they’re pushing their closed source Snap packs, which are frankly inferior to the open source Flat packs, but it’s just the latest example of their shenanigans.

            Well… That’s shitty behaviour. I’m luckily not on Ubuntu. Thanks for clarification.
