With the arrival of Windows 10 and the swift decline of my laptops functionality not to mention endless amounts of unremovable bloatware crap ! I've had it with windows now!
Being nearly 30 and wanting a change of career I've just started an IT apprenticeship. Safe to say its a hard learning curve but the last thing I want to be doing when I come home is dealing with more and more windows issues having just dealt with them all day.
However, being a creature of habit, windows is all I have ever really known. I have heard good thing about Linux and I think it would cure a lot of my grief. I mostly use my laptop for watching films and playing some games off steam or for World of Warcraft. Is this still possible using Linux? I've also heard you can run both Linux and Windows in tandem so I could scratch that windows itch if i needed too?
I'm not too phased about dealing with the command line stuff as I'm having to wrap my head around powershell but I'm not wanting to get my hands too dirty tbh. What Distro & Desktop Environment would you recommend?Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
