Anyone who answers other than 5 is a fucking idiot.

lol You quite literally do not know what you’re talking about and it’s hilarious. Hilariously pathetic.

Nice! Sound like you’re on the right track, though might want to keep a live cd image on hand in case Windows decides to take over your boot options until you can finally squash it. xP

Try out some live boot disks then. Several flavors of linux will just boot up, and give you the option to install from within the booted OS. I forget which ones lwt you change things and basically treat them like normal, but some will even carry over any made changes right through the install (if you tell it to, anyways).

Then, you’ll just have to identify any critical applications you need and see if they run on linux, or have any viable alternatives that do, or worst case try to run the windows flavor through Wine or proton or so.

If you need stability above all, I’d recommend avoiding the bleeding edge distros or the young ones that are changing a lot. It sounds odd, but I’ve been digging MX Linux a lot, and I’ve tried a good few flavors over the years. It’s based on Debian Stable, so it’s repos won’t be the bleeding edge, but it has that classic Debian “Just Works” going for it. The only bugs I’ve had have been issues from Wayland that also affect other distros.

It doesn’t comprehend anything. That’s the damn point.

Though it WILL “understand” what you did by the algorithms that break down code turning the variable into another token. So all you’re really doing is costing yourself more time and money in the slop machine.

If you want Debian plus some nice tools, I’d recommend MX Linux. It’s based on Debian stable and mosrly just has a few convenient extras. Like installing nvidia drivers with one click, or being able to create a bootable ISO of your exact system. It has a few other neat tools, too.

Wouldn’t be surprised if you could just nab those tools ad hoc as desired for normal Debian, though.
