Switch to Linux now

Switch to Linux now, not at some indeterminate point in the future, now.
This is highly political because we live our lives on computers, and with Microsoft you are giving up everything to a company that hates you. You do not own your computer, Bill Gates does. He decides what you can do with it, he knows everything you do on it. Why? There is no reason for it. I put off switching for years because I thought it was """hard""" or something. It isn't, you just install it and use it. Do it now.

>Back up the files you need to keep on an external HD
>Download Linux Mint from here. Get another distro if you want, but if you don't know then just get Mint

>If your computer in ancient choose Mate, otherwise choose Cinnamon
>Download Etcher or Rufus to flash to a USB stick
>Restart your computer and follow the extremely basic instructions that even a retard could follow
>ERASE WINDOWS, DO NOT DUAL BOOT. YOU WILL NOT NEED WINDOWS AGAIN

That's the whole thing, so just do it. Watch this video if you need extra help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mUI3CMjmMc

FAQs:
>Isn't it hard and you need to be a hacker?
No
>But I need to play muh gameys
Grow up faggot, but anyway you can still play them
>I need to use some program which is windows only
You almost definitely don't, but even still it's barely any more effort to run it in WINE on Linux
>Linux is free if your time is worthless heh heh
It literally saves you time, it is easier to deal with than Windows. It will not cost you any time if you run something simple like Mint, you only get into autistic shit with certain distros.

OK that's all, so do it.
