Wondering what OS to use on my laptop since Windows is going the direction of enforced AI hell. Just discovered Copilot force-installed on my Win 10 machine. Not happy. Uninstalled but don’t trust it.
Do I go with Linux? I have a bit of experience with it already.
I still need to be able to use MS Office docs and OneNote for my university lecture notes. 🤔 Plus MS Teams for my uni. None of these are optional.
Also: Zoom, Zotero, Steam, Claro accessibility software… and maybe more.

in reply to JB 🐎 • • •Teams, and Zoom actually work well in a browser. I use both for work from Linux frequently. There is actually a native Linux Zoom as well, but I prefer just using it in the browser.
Steam is amazing in Linux!
I'd suggest starting by trying to see how much of that list you can use from a browser. If you're happy with that in Windows then you can be pretty sure that will work from Linux as well.
If you do switch and run into any issues, I'd be happy to try to help and answer any questions.
