Another vote for Linux Mint. Many Linux distros are available on bootable USBs, so you can try out Linux without messing with your Windows installation at all.
Being against genocide isn't a "political position." It's called "being a decent human being" and you should be against it, no matter who is doing it to who.
Pointing out that Trump is the dumbest, cruelest president that has ever lived isn't a "political position. " It's called "using your fucking eyes and paying attention to what he's doing."
I could go on and on about "things that are more obvious than a sunrise being labeled 'political positions'" but those 2 things could keep us busy for years.
The other nice thing about Linux is that there are several Live versions you can try out on your computer without making any changes to your Windows installation.
This also lets you see if check and see if Linux fully supports your hardware (just in case you have a weird network or audio card). If the Live version of Linux works, the installed version will, as well.
Most installers let you set up a dual boot on the same hard drive, too.
I've got Wine 9, running on Linux Mint. I mostly use it for older games and a few Windows programs like IrfanView. All my modern games I bought on Steam, run great under Linux. (Steam has a native Linux client and uses it's own Windows compatability layer called Proton to run games).
I use LibreOffice for productivity, Thunderbird for email and GIMP has a native Linux client, too.
Nothing wrong with pointing out when someone is being an idiot. They can go on being an idiot, but at least the truth is out in the open, where it needs to be.
Billionaires are always welcome to pay their fair share of the tax burden by paying their employees a wage they can live on. Higher wages means more taxable income. Their current policy of, "privatize the profits and socialize the risks" benefits no one but themselves.
Yup. MAGAs want to be RULED. They've always wanted a mommy and daddy figure to tell them what to do, because thinking for themselves just makes their pore heds hurt sumpthin' awful.
