I am not a tech wizard. As soon as my new minipc got home with Windows 11, I installed CachyOS on it. I found out later that it’s based on one of the “difficult” Linux variants, but everything went super smoothly (I might have just been lucky. i don’t know, don’t take this as advice!).
Yes I had to follow a few instructions on creating an installation USB key. That was the hardest part. But my relationship with windows had become too abusive. I do want my computer to “just work” and let me do my stuff, but that’s not what windows is doing any longer

It’s somehow satisfying to get a brand new machine with Windows pre-installed and never let Windows boot even once. 😎
