Thinking of getting away from Microsoft and all mainstream software.

I used to use Ubuntu back in 08, is it better now? And is it based?

been using ubuntu 18.x, set dual-boot with win 10 on the same disk, passed down between craigslist 100 dollar laptops for a few years: xxx@corei5:/etc$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic

Why? It boots fast. No windoze I only boot into win 10 if I need to use a custom driver (i.e. hp printer / scanner), which is almost never. You can do everything on Linux. Do a youtube search on setting your windows laptop up as dual-boot(you just need to create a partition for the Linux OS, you don't need much unless you are planning on storing a lot of shit on it, say 50 GB). Do it, you won't regret it, build skills
