    Honest answer? Go to Claude.ai, tell it you’re thinking about switching to Linux then engage in a discussion to find the right distribution for you, get guidance along the way, then when you’re up and running ask it for help on troubleshooting and making your experience better.

    I recently did this myself, I’m near your age, and seriously this will make the experience a joy and you won’t regret it at all because you will have great help whenever you need it. You will need the help but with the help you can get to the best possible OS for you and your needs with little pain in a relatively short time.

    You almost certainly will not regret this.









  • People crave certainty. Like are obsessed with it. They will do anything to obtain it including believing all kinds of wildly untrue things. Intuition is usually associated with these hard fictions.

    Science starts from the premise that the universe is uncertain. Uncertainty is baked into all scientific measurements. This mindset leads to true knowledge but it is fundamentally not how people are naturally wired to think. It takes repeated practice to stay scientifically minded even if you are trained in the practice and you exercise it regularly. It’s uncomfortable to stay in the uncertain place for long periods of time for most people. Regression to certainty is the norm, science is the exception.

    I give people a lot of empathy for the certainty mindset, even if it is wrong it helps people cope with the gaping abyss of uncertainty. It’s not an easy thing to grapple with.
