I did some reading up on the Linux distro's online. I picked Ubuntu. Downloaded Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. Put it on a thumb drive. Rebooted my Windows 11 PC. Held down the F2 key. Booted the thumb drive. Installed Ubuntu on top of Windows 11. Bye bye Windows 11. Hello Ubuntu. And she looks sweet.
Seems like a good time to switch to Linux. Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked — you can thank Windows 11's forced online accounts for that. https://www.windowscentral.com/micr...n-keys-give-fbi-legal-order-privacy-nightmare
I'm tempted to do the same. The only thing stopping me is I also use my PC for my job, and it relies heavily on the native MS Office apps. I do not like using the web apps. I could dual boot, but I'm too lazy to go through the process at the moment. I actually switched to Ubuntu back when Windows 8 came out. But I ended up switching back when they released Windows 8.1, because Linux gaming was not a thing back then.
