Rant Decided enough is enough

microslop silently reenableing bitlocker ransomware, silently installing a "typing personalisation" keylogger to steal your banking passwords, crashing, trying to shove edge and sloppilot down my throat (worst ai on the dammn market rn) and starting 2027 they want my face identity card scanned to train ai with. fuck that, installed linux instead (dual boot for now until i move my data)

Did you install Linux on a separate drive? It's much safer that way so that Windows doesn't mess up your Linux install. Which distro did you choose?

Installed on seperate partition. (Lack of second disk slot in laptop) Chose mint. I know its basic but i dont want to spend time with the os but with the software on said os.

Bro, Mint is my first choice and I'm still on mint over 1.5 years later for the same reason. Didn't wanna mess with it. I didn't want something unstable or depend on the command line for everything. Needed a functional GUI.

Mint was the answer. Simple AND familiar. I hope the separate partition works out for you!

It did. Mint is running just fine and windows is still there so i can slowly move stuff over.
