My PC isn't Windows 11 ready. That's why I bought a raspberry pi, and am running android now. If I feel like resurrecting the old machine, I'll run LMDE or something.

So far, I haven't detected any negative consequences.

Linux Mint is fire BTW

I'm running it on all my systems except my main rig currently and it's been rock solid

why not your main rig?

It's got to have some software on it currently that doesn't play nicely with Linux. (CAD and Adobe Suite stuff)

Basically my plan to work around that issue is to spin up a Windows VM on my little server and just run it there so all my PCs can access the same Windows install.

I just haven't got around to that yet because I just haven't found the time yet
