Been a long time Windows user but with each Windows version, I hate it more. So bloated and locked in. I saw that mint is a good beginner distribution but its not supported by framework. Is Ubuntu really different from Windows with a higher learning curve?

Talk me out of wasting hours to get linux working when Windows works out-of-the-box

    If you really hate feeling “locked in” to windows, you really should switch to Linux and see if it works for you. Really depends on the programs you run and whether they are readily available under Linux.

    If you find you need programs that only run under Windows, you need to decide if dual booting or running a Windows VM is worth it to you.

    What I love about my new Framework 13 laptop is how very easy it is to swap NVME sticks. I also like how inexpensive 2TB sticks are today. I’ve been easily swapping out sticks to go between Windows 11 and Linux a lot to evaluate Framework Linux support.
