I switched to Linux since it made CS studies easier and I wanted to leave my gamer life behind. WoW was really cutting into my life.

I did use other Linux distributions for my server and laptop but they never got real use as my main system. I did run dual boot for some time in case I needed Windows and currently I have a W10 image in case I need to run something with that.

Soon I'm in for a LTS upgrade.

For a second I forgot I was actually on

>It was only insert Disk, until you insert a game or something.
That is still an operating system.

Ok, I don't know, I thought of that desktop thing, one sometimes sees when running a cracked game.

It's mainly all of my old legit Adobe software that I'm worried about. I own the disks but I'm not allowed to reinstall it anywhere because of licensing restrictions. I'll be damned if I'm buying the new creative suite or paying a monthly fee when this works fine.

try mint and run 7 in a VM. I'm particular to mint because it comes with a calming sea-foam green theme ootb, mint is also debian based so it shouldnt be too different from ubuntu. ubuntu is phasing in W10 style telemetry on top of their already gross ad service which is another reason why you should switch to something else. then you can also just reskin mint to also look like windows 7 if flags and blue tickle your pickle more than a leaf and green

Only cause you consider it as improvement does not mean you can call it upgrade (7 < 10)

The winshits in order up to 8, then mint, then ubuntu.

Started with a new Commodore 128.

Bounced between Sun, SGI, and HP PARISC systems in the 90s, now running Win 2016 / 10 and LFS (hardened or testing). Want to go back to Solaris on SPARC, but fuck Oracle.

It's by definition an upgrade.
