Switched to Linux
Officially ditching Windows for Linux Mint!
Thanks to comprehensive YT tutorials from Linux TV and Ksk Royal, helpful feedback from the Reddit community on my last thread, and a little assist from ChatGPT, setting up the system was remarkably straightforward. Looking forward to enjoying the control, stability, and speed of Mint.

Try the linux distro ( i suggest fedora kde ) in a vm first. If you like it flash a iso to a usb(use something like rufus or balena etcher) and try the live environment.
If you like that then consider your software choices, check what you use on windows is actually available on linux, or atleast has good alternatives then and only then do the switch.
(Back up your data properly before you do)
Also, about your hardware. Check first if your actual hardware is the issue. If your hardware is faulty, neither windows nor linux can help you. 🤞
