It’s time: How to install Linux Mint on your PC
protip: it’s Linux time!

I just finished re-building windows after something i did soft-locked it beyond my ability to recover. And it’s all over shit like this. “But frank, just disable [MSFT’s newest malware anti-feature]!” Like MSFT would ever respect that.
protip: don’t install win11 with a microsoft account; use a local-only account. No problems.
I wasn’t able to set up my computer early this year without using an account (maybe I just missed the option, but if it was there they buried it).
I was able to switch it to local afterwards, but there was already an unwanted link with one-drive and several of my folders, which persisted even after uninstalling one-drive, and apparently can only be fixed within one-drive’s specific settings.
To fix it I had to re-install the program, and then re-uninstall it when everything was finally disconnected. Fuck microsoft.
