Fucking Scum Governments and Corporations rule Western Societies. What is free red blooded North American to do in this Orwellian Dystopia in which we are living?

This is why I nuked all my Microsoft accounts and subscriptions. Fuck em!

Good god, Microsoft. This kind of shit is what makes me glad that I switched to Linux as my daily driver about 5+ years ago. It was a bit rough at first, but after a while you get used to how things work a bit differently, and Valve's release of steam for Linux certainly helped!
For anyone else looking to give Linux a shot as their desktop operating system, here are some noob-friendly distros to try:

Linux mint is probably the best distro for a user to migrate from windows, I still don't particularly like Linux, bit too nerdy for me and lacking applications that I use regularly, that said if you just want word processing n internet it is easy enough to get on with - wine will run 'some' windows applications but not well enough for me to ditch win machines....

I don't really recommend Mint because of a few off package managing choices they make. (Needlessly renaming packages, even if those names are already use by others, thus breaking compalability with others and opening security holes) But cinnamon is a fine desktop environment. As for web browsing and word processing goes, I've had no issues. Libreoffice and WPS office seems to do everything well, and I've a wealth of web browsers to chose from. (Firefox, chromium, their respective forks, opera, vivaldi, qupzilla, ect.)
