I admit this happened to me. It was a crypto mining virus. I'll never pirate any program/game again.

Get Linux for free and you'll never have to do that ever.

I currently dual-boot Windows/Ubuntu, but tend to use Windows more. Had to spend 20 hours actively to get Linux to display at full resolution & full refresh rate on my TV. Still have some problems with multi-screen setup where some screens just being black sometimes. (Also tried MX Linux, Manjaro and Mint with less success)

Maybe I'll try to switch to Linux fully at some point but I prolly need more "Linux-compatible" hardware.

Also copy-paste sucks on Linux. On Mac you do CMD-c/CMD-v, on Windows Ctrl-c/Ctrl-v, but in Linux it's Ctrl-Insert/Shift-Insert. My laptop doesn't even have an Insert key easily accessable, especially I can't to copy-paste using only with one hand.

My feelings about Linux are a bit mixed.

Almost 25 years in and I don't think I've ever even heard of using Insert for copy/paste.

You just highlight what you want and the middle click where you want it. Or Ctrl-v/Ctrl-c. There's a bit of variance from desktop environment to desktop environment but I can't remember that last time one or both of those did not work.

I used to dual-boot using Linux primarily for many years. The end result I just stopped gaming because rebooting and only being able to exclusively game or do other things was just too much of a pain in the ass.

I eventually went back to windows. If I were to do it again, I think the optimum solution for now would be to run Linux in a Virtual Machine. The resource requirements for running a browser, spreadsheets, word processor etc are so low I just think it makes the most sense.

use ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v. Its worked on every systems ive used unless im using some odd browser based virtual console.
