Any Linux Users Here?

I've been reading and watching a number of videos about how invasive MS Windows 11 is and how they have tried to force copilot on Windows users.

I know Linux has been around for years. I just never have had the desire to learn how to use a different system. But considering the direction Windows has been heading it makes me think about looking into getting a new device with Linux installed on it.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've run linux for nearing 30 years, personal, professional, and had LUG going for a while.
you might find it helpful to look for a local LUG (Linux Users Group) that might have some pointers for you. in a 'try before you buy' type mode, I'd suggest downloading virtualbox from oracle and the ISO of whatever linux you want to try - with those two things (if your machine is sized large enough), you can try out/install/run a linux machine (or any OS, really. although I don't know there's much more then the linux/doze worlds anymore, really) without committing fully to moving to the new OS
