    And I never did. I just started with Linux Mint when I got my first laptop.

    But I do see the perspective of Windows users, perhaps. I did briefly try using Windows, but it was frustrating. I don’t know how to set anything in there. For some reason there’s 2 setting apps (control panel and settings), each only being partially usable. My Wi-Fi kept dying, the only solution was replacing the Intel Wi-Fi card for one from Qualcomm. Bluetooth only worked randomly like every 20th restart. Drivers for my 20 year old printer didn’t work in either 10 nor 11. Only up to Windows 7.
    Painful experience.

      Wow, a real Linux native here! Wonderful to know.

      Yes, I gotta say after running Linux for like a week I seriously couldn’t think of coming back to Windows. I just began to understand how much of a trash Windows systems are.
