Wow. Learning a new operating system at a low level with the benefit of having ChatGPT as a guide is so much easier than the dark art that MSDOS and early Windows versions was treated as by the local computer shops.

I remember when I finally got my first PC in 1993, being down for a full month while I learned how to do a fresh OS install when I corrupted something critical. The vague answers I got from the local computer shop, aimed at getting me to just bring it in, just made me more determined to learn. I should have picked up Linux years ago.

When you use it for a while you will discover that's much easier to manage than Windows, much more coherent, when something is broke the messages are clear, you can search for this specific problen or error and find a solucion. Windows is a F* black box and what works with your computer doesn't work with mine. GNU/Linux will give you, at the long term, a peace of mind that if somwthing was working last tine, will be working next time.

And this feelings have no price😉
