Great to hear you switched. I just switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint. I had actually used Ubuntu circa 2007-2009, but switched to Windows because it was just easier. I never really loved Ubuntu. Linux Mint seems amazing so far. Very intuitive and user friendly. I can see non techies in my family using it on their Windows 10 machines later this year.
In my college Econ 101 class I was taught that “economic liberalism” would lead to political liberalism. I knew that was a myth back then, but my professors insisted. Twenty years later we’ve got economic nationalism and political fascism taking over everywhere.
