You just need to think outside of the box. Instead of thinking. Instead of: “Can I convert my windows programs to linux?” Think: “Is there a free linux alternarive?”. 99℅ of the time the awnser is yes and most of the time they are even better. I made the mistake of seeing linux as a windows replacement and forced my self to get the same shit running on my linux distro. Then I changed my way of thining and it completely made the transition so much easier. Yes it will take a little time to get the thinks the way you want. But with a little investment you will have a machine that YOU control. And not the other way around. I had to boot up my windows partition the otherday to copy some leftover documents. And it felt so fucking alien to me… And Ive been a windows user since 95. But It has been a long time since my computer actually felt like mine again.
