Im gonna follow some tutorials from pic related before going to the Linux journey or wherever. Just to get muh feet wet.

I installed linux on my laptop last week, and removed it yesterday. Things went mostly fine hardware wise, but battery life was about 25% worse, and for some reason updates took a long time and would bog down the entire device.

The battery part was what made me remove it for good. I tried a bunch of stuff I found on google, but it never made a difference.

While I'm coincidentally waiting for an ssd to arrive, that doesn't really fix anything. I will most likely still get better battery life on windows.

Right now I get about 6 hours on windows, so losing ~1:30 is just too much, particularly when I don't get anything special in return

I don't really remember, first time I saw that shit was on my uncle pc when he used to work for ibm.

Maybe 8 years or so but I'm a pleb I prefer shit like debian and nowadays I mostly use mint because it just werks.
