Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.

    I have four pieces of advice

    1. btrfs file system for easy backup and recovery
    2. Encrypt your drive
    3. use an ad blocker everywhere
    4. use virus total to scan anything you might be wary of, and if you really feel like you need an AV, they do exist for Linux.

    I usually prefer Debian based systems, but when I finally ditched windows 3 weeks ago, I switched to Manjaro, and I’m loving it. You got this!

      If you are worried about disk space don’t use backup on btrfs though it fills up yr drive I never encrypt my drive but maybe you should Manjaro is great though!
