Hey I’m cell and my bf of nearly 2 years asked me to switch to Linux because it’s “obv way better then windows” (his words xd) and until now I always said no. I didn’t wanna learn how to navigate through a new distro all over again. I gave it some thought and decided to make it his “Christmas” present that I’m installing Linux on my laptop :3 if any of you can give me advice on what type of Linux, like arch, I should install and what I should be aware of would really help!

    Well I’m not your boyfriend but I’d enjoy the act of sharing my knowledge and exploring distros with my partner much more than her telling me she went online to talk to a bunch of strangers about something I have an interest/knowledge of.

    Also be aware that if this is your first time installing a new os you should assume you will lose all the files on your computer in the process, back up what you care about.
