Rip Microsoft

Tried switching to Mint yesterday, it's a struggle as the guide kinda failed to mention some detail that i have to google a bit, and the result is it fail to boot(not a bootable drive error). Might try again tonight or this weekend. Honestly i can't see mass adoption if it's this PITA to get it working(not plug and play like windows), unless it's provided by the manufacturer.

Edit: so one of a few struggle i have is the guide failed to mention i need to create an efi partition, i have to google that for the recommended size.

Another is the "primary" and "logical" partition. I have no idea which to chose so i put everything on primary, not sure if this cause the issue.

Then another one is what should i mount my "rest of the partition" with, i googled it and all the answer given is "you should probably read on what is all this about to get a sense what you should do" when i just want some simple answer to what should i do with that, like in Windows, C is for the OS, and you put everything on D or something like that. It's akin to asking me to read the whole physics chapter when i just wanna know what speed a horse could run.

Then the final nail in the coffin for the session is "not a bootable drive". Then i just plug in my windows ssd and go on with my day.

Good, gaming was the last thing keeping me on windows, once I find a distro that's compatible with my laptop hardware I'll move to Linux completely

Some shitty games will hold out, but as long as the majority works better under Linux, I'm fine with it.

I love to hear it, but only about 70% of mine work on Linux, so I'm stuck with a dual boot. 99% Linux is better than no Linux, at least.

Okay, but how far back does this go? It can’t really be that all games in existence that ran on Windows is being counted. Is it?

It's great that the number of games playable on Linux is rising. But the lack of mods is stopping me from switching. I tried to play Civilization 6 and it's hard to play it without many quality of life improvement mods.
