  • There are so many options, but since I assume it would be your first linux, I’d start with something that just works at once and does everything you say you need in your comment. Zorin OS will just work at once (I might not prefer this dist myself, but I’m 20 years in the linux game… this is a distro that just works really well for first timers, and it’s a good distro).

    1. Download the free Zorin OS Core version (it’s the full OS with no limitations).
    2. Download Etcher.
    3. Put a USB drive (min 4GB) in your computer, start Etcher and select the Zorin OS file (image) you downloaded and select the USB you put in your computer, press “Flash!”. Wait for it to finish.
    4. Restart computer and boot from the USB drive (usually, right after your computer restarts, you press F9 repeatedly)
    5. Fallow instructions and when done installing, restart and; you’re free from Windows!
    6. Enjoy!









  • Agree. And what have we seen so many times before in autocracies and dictatorships and now, every day, in America? That without democracy; there is no guarantee that you will be able to wake up with your family from one day to the other. That is what’s at stake, here. I believe it was Stephen Miller (correct me if I’m wrong) that said their “conservative revolution will be bloodless, if the left allows it to”. I interpret that as, well, literally. I do not want US to have a second civil war, I want you to put an end to this asap, by any means necessary, because for every day they get to continue; is a day more of complete victory. You’re not in a state of kids play, US. This is utterly serious.








  • Yeah, I understand that. It’s horrible. US is in deeply troubled spot now, but some time the will need to act, in whatever way necessary, if they want to save their democracy. And the longer that act is taking to enforce; the more uncomfortable it will be to perform. My fear is that they won’t act before it’s too late (if it isn’t already, but I want to believe that it isn’t), if the worlds biggest democracy completely falls; that sends a message to all conservative movements on the globe that their undemocratic ways is a winning strategy. The heat is on US, for now, there are many in the works elsewhere (very much including my country, our next biggest party is a MAGA/NAZI party; we have our much similar battles here, too, not yet as extreme, but very concerning either way).
