    I made the switch a few years back, and have fucked with zero kernals. I installed Linux mint, and it just works.

    Every now and then I’m forced to use a windows machine, and every time I go back to my rig, it’s a huge relief. It works so much smoother and faster, no bs.

    It doesn’t slow down everything, because logging my data on my computer through my Internet connection just isn’t a thing Linux does.

      Thanks for the response. I had kinda come to the understanding that kernals and other techno babble would either make more sense once i got started, or was stuff that wouldnt apply to a casual like myself.

        It was super easy for me, and I’m by no means a sophisticated user. I used the terminal a couple of times just to try it out and get some settings just how I wanted them, but could have easily gotten by without it. If you look back fondly on xp you’re gonna thrive on mint!
