Man…I don’t even like linux. I don’t know what I’m doing. I have difficulty understanding what I’m even doing wrong. I have issues installing software unless it’s a flatpak. And yet for the past 2 years I’ve been exclusively running linux. Not so much against my will, but against my wants. What I want is WindowsXP 2.0. Just WindowsXP but able to run modern hardware, in a 64 bit software version. Instead, we get Windows 11. I will not stand for buying hardware, paying for software to run an OS, only to be told I own nothing, my privacy is not respected, my screen real estate is theirs to sell, and the software spies on me. So I want you to know, as a lifelong windows user, dating back to Windows 3.1, and going all the way to Windows 8.1, I want you to know I say this as a Windows user who feels held hostage on linux… That being said…FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!!! FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF WITH YOUR BULLSHIT! FUCK COPILOT! FUCK TILES! WINDOWS 10! FUCK WINDOWS 11! FUCK AI PUSHED DOWN OUR THROATS! FUCK YOUR ARTIFICIAL TECH LIMITS TO RUN WINDOWS 11! FUCK YOUR WHOLE MINDSET THESE PAST 15 YEARS!!! I HAVE BEEN UNHAPPILY USING LINUX FOR 2 YEARS EXCLUSIVELY AFTER TRYING IT OFF AND ON FOR 20 YEARS. NEVER UNDERSTOOD TERMINAL, MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND TERMINAL, BUT FUCK YOU MICROSOFT! I REFUSE YOUR BULLSHIT!

Debian + KDE and then install synaptic and your basically there man. itsfoss.com/synaptic-package-manager/ You could go with Ubuntu but it has telemitry bullshit (if you don’t care then its fine). Launch Synaptic once a month and refresh and apply updates or add the software from the repositry from there. Debian is all about being stable so it wont have all the latest versions of software but if you want a Windows XP version of Linux that just fucking works, Debian is the way to go. Everything has a .deb installer if it is trying to be available to the wider Linux user market.
