Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

For my "convenience" and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

These days it's hard to argue with that, windows used to actually let you control the computer... But those days are long gone

Good thing I love using linux!

I wanna make the jump to Linux. I worry about it but maybe there's a good video tutorial somewhere on it.

One thing that you should understand first, most of the time linux tutorials involve the terminal, that's becouse for a lot of linux users it's faster and easier to do things that way, on the other hand usually there is a GUI based way to do those things as well (depending on what desktop environment you're using it can be more or less likely)

Terminal is no more necessary than command prompt/power shell

It’s rare that steam deck or android users use it

It's something you should just try and not worry too much about. If things go wrong you can always go back to windows.

Just pick any linux distro, burn the iso into a USB, and boot onto the USB and see how you like it from there
