    And next year you’ll vividly remember installing Linux

    Sorry, I will not be doing that. I know I will be downvoted to hell and my reputation points will all go away. But I don’t care. I already tried switching to Linux in late 2023 and failed miserably. I first installed Fedora and it was slow as shit! And so I thought “maybe I should try out some beginner friendly distros” and tried out Mint and it was even worse! Remember when Linus Tech Tips tried the Linux challenge and his Manjaro installation basically self-nuked itself within 3 minutes into first install without him doing anything? Same shit happened to me! Like the system crashed and automatically rebooted without saving any progress after some minutes into the first install. It was SO frustrating! Nix was slow on my system too! My only smooth Linux experience was Gentoo on Live USB. And I don’t have the time and energy in my life to ACTUALLY install Gentoo. I’ll be sticking with Windows 10 Long Term Support Channel (LTSC) IoT Edition till 2032 with a good antivirus to keep me safe. Plus, Linux is NOWHERE close to Windows in accessibility department. No matter what I do on Linux, I couldn’t achieve the same level of largest text on Linux. I have keratitis on my eyes (please see my previous posts) so I NEED bigger texts. I remember reading an article “I love Linux but Linux doesn’t love me back” detailing on how Linux doesn’t do much for blind (including visually impaired individuals of various levels), deaf (including HoH individuals of various levels) and deafblind individuals. Having previously experienced Linux, I can agree with that article. I love Linux but Linux doesn’t love me back.
