I'm french and your representation is oversimplifying and not even close to grabbing the complexity of the real world

Could you elaborate on that ?

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks a lot

Indeed, was there and after checking it, everything works as good as windows support, so perfect ! Just need to disable RST and install Mint now :)

Had a relative switch to Linux recently. Lenovo IdeaPad computer running windows 10. The stuff was getting insanely slow and battery life was reduced ton the point that it was being a pain to use. Backed all the documents and data on a local instance of dufs running on home server and installed Linux Mint on it. Had minor issues regarding WiFi and Bluetooth. Solved the wifi one but bluetooth is still a bit unstable sometimes. Came back 1 week later and the user is delighted. Says that everything works 3 times faster than on windows and that battery lasts 3 times longer. They also went on themselves to look for open source alternatives to windows apps they were using and installed them. That's a win !

Completely understood and i agree that it is a bit irritating to put a lot of money on cloths and get them scratched the next day ! I try to buy the same and honestly shop a lot on https://www.wedressfair.fr/ lately. The brand colorful standard makes stuff that lasts long enough for me and that is pretty classic stuff, no hipster style necessary.

Thank you for the suggestion !
