Should just use Linux, tbh.

I recently wiped my Nitro5 of Windows 11 and now I'm currently using Kubuntu while waiting for the Fedora 40 release. I think I'm going to try the Plasma spin, (Fedora always seems to end badly for me though).

I was reasonably satisfied with Win11 when I first upgraded to it. It ran smoothly and was easy to setup the way I wanted it. It basically stayed pretty much out of my way. But the last "upgrade" put an end to that. I wrestled with the last service pack, and got pissed and wiped it.

Now I'm just waiting for Fedora 40 to drop along with Ubuntu 24.04LS. I will pick a KDE spin that seems to run the best.

Nitro5 sibling! I just used the Microsoft reinstall method of making my system factory fresh. Thinking of going with Debian with X and Xfce. I don't know why MS took away the ability to have a system bar at the top of the screen for Win11 but I was able to kludge it to the top but ran into so many issues that I finally did the factory reset.

I'm also thinking about doing dual boot but I've read that MS doesn't play nice anymore in that scenario. Last time I dual booted was the XP days. Is there a reason you didn't dual boot?
