       It's me, I am part of the flock to Linux 🤣Hope to be fully transitioned to Linux before Feb. 1. Windows refused to play a video that I had saved for years unless I paid another $1 to upgrade the media player. Why would I do that when 1) I used to be able to play it from my computer just fine; 2) I recorded and own the video myself; and 3) free and open source programs like Shotcut still will play the video just fine still.I hope these big companies crash and burn 🔥

       Right now I have Linux Mint Cinnamon running in a Virtual box. Tomorrow I'm going to run out to get an extra USB stick and try to run it from there to make sure everything works. The virtual box environment gives me weird quirks.Ultimately I'm switching regardless because Windows has annoyed me that much, but I'm not super tech savvy so trying to take baby steps into it.

       I haven't played around with mint too much. Seemed pretty good though.I ended up going with Ubuntu when I ditched windows in 2020.

       I tried Ubuntu around then as well but couldn't hack it; there was too much going on and I hadn't girded my loins enough for the transition. This time I'm emotionally committed and also taking the transition much slower so fingers crossed it sticks for me this time 🤣I do like Mint more right now, it feels more like what I'm used to.
