Had a relative switch to Linux recently. Lenovo IdeaPad computer running windows 10. The stuff was getting insanely slow and battery life was reduced ton the point that it was being a pain to use. Backed all the documents and data on a local instance of dufs running on home server and installed Linux Mint on it. Had minor issues regarding WiFi and Bluetooth. Solved the wifi one but bluetooth is still a bit unstable sometimes. Came back 1 week later and the user is delighted. Says that everything works 3 times faster than on windows and that battery lasts 3 times longer. They also went on themselves to look for open source alternatives to windows apps they were using and installed them. That’s a win !

I’m french and your representation is oversimplifying and not even close to grabbing the complexity of the real world

Indeed, was there and after checking it, everything works as good as windows support, so perfect ! Just need to disable RST and install Mint now :)

Thank you for the suggestion !

Oh, I didn’t know that, thanks a lot

Completely understood and i agree that it is a bit irritating to put a lot of money on cloths and get them scratched the next day ! I try to buy the same and honestly shop a lot on https://www.wedressfair.fr/ lately. The brand colorful standard makes stuff that lasts long enough for me and that is pretty classic stuff, no hipster style necessary.
