    Trust me, it’s already worth it. Literally every other operating system in existence is better than windows. I’d use Temple OS before going back.

      Caveat: if the software you need is supported. Unfortunately that’s the major reason I haven’t switched

      And a lot of linux programs take inspiration from Microsoft’s design because they’re the norm. When you think of a word processor you think of Word, same goes for all of Office 365 actually.

        I think of Word 2007. All downhill after that…

        Edit: Or was it 2011? I can’t even remember anymore…

        I think of Google Docs now because the inconvenience of not being able to have word on my own system without a price caused me to use the free alternative.

        When you think of a word processor you think of Word.

        Only if you’re a cretin! The only thing one should envision when thinking of a word processor is WordPerfect 1.21a for the Apple IIgs!

        Envisioning Calligra Words is also acceptable.

      Remove the bloatware with a free program like ShutUp10++, and Windows is a fine OS. Linux may very well be better still, but better enough to go through the effort of switching over, reinstalling everything, relearning everything, finding alternatives to programs, etc.? I doubt it. Not for me at least.
