Windows 11... oh no...

[zamradiel]

I use Windows 11 (without a Microsoft account... local login only), macOS, and Linux (mostly Debian and Ubuntu). WSL2 has been excellent for running Linux under Windows 11, so I end up doing most of my code testing there.

I'm now thinking about dual boot solution, using USB flash drive as hard disc for Linux, so I can keep Windows... I don't want to loose Adobe stuff...

You can do a dual boot with Windows and a Linux distro on the same machine. If you go to do a Mint install, it's one of the setup options. I did that for about a year or so. It performs a lot better than a live install on USB with persistance, and I'm not sure if every distribution has that as a viable option.

The one caveat with a dual boot are that Windows actively goes around in your UEFI and will occasionally make changes during updates that break dual boots for anything that isn't a MS product. Intentionally. And then not care at all that they've screwed tons of people. I had about 3 weeks where I couldn't jump back over if I wanted to (didn't need or want to) while MS slowly unscrewed some update of theirs. That was the last nail and I ditched Windows all together soon after.

my only hope is that when win10 support runs out my laptop doesn't wind up bricked. i know that hasn't been an issue with previous versions, but i have this sick feeling in my gut that they're going to try some stupid sh to force an update.
damn to the depths whatever man that thought up planned obsolescence.

Where do I find more information about this? I am not good in computer things, so for me everything is like Chinese language.

Just Google ReviOS or AtlasOS. I am not computer savvy, I just followed the guide how to install Win 11 and AtlasOS. Their website has documentation page which covers everything you need to know, from understanding how ReviOS or AtlasOS works to installing it, troubleshooting common problems. This guide will walk you through every step. You can also search on Youtube tutorials in installing ReviOS or AtlasOS.
