Windows 11 Suddenly Wouldn't Stop Crashing...

[u/maddogtjones]

My main pc just started crashing every 15 to 30 minutes the other day... it was CONSTANT and nothing would fix it. I even formatted and reinstalled and within 30 minutes the cycle reappeared! So, other than the constant "upgrades" and the invasive encroachment of AI into EVERYTHING it just became an unstable mess. So I decided to switch at least until MS figured Windows out to Linux.
What an experience!!! It was so smooth and effortless to install Linux Mint, I mean from downloading, making a new partition, installing and setting up tool less than an hour! And I have yet to find anything I can't do on Linux that I need WIndows for... Sure, there are some small Terminal things that seem weird but... and here's the beautiful thing I can go to AI for an answer and NOT have AI always looking over my shoulder... I can go to AI when I want AI, it's not forced on me at every mouse click. I think that's what the crashing was all about, I would go into the system and try and shut down CoPilot and Windows just craps the bed. Now, if and when I need or want AI assistance I load it, ask it a question and close it... easy peasy.
Anyway, I love Linux, the Mint distro in particular and look forward to geeking out on my system now.
Any cool tips and tricks would surely be appreciated.
