Bought an extra stick of memory and a 1tb ssd for a used 2013 laptop. Made a usb iso of mint, put the new memory in, stuck the clean ssd in (zero formatting), booted the device from the usb and installed mint.

Granted I know the learning curve really begins now but, unless someone is absolutely against learning something new, I heartily recommend at least trying a user friendly linux distro like mint.

FYI: Tor browser is much faster.

Good work. Post here if you run into problems. Lot's of people here are using Linux for a lot of different things.

You are going to find that most things "just work" almost to a surprising degree.
