Windows 10 is close to being dead now, with support ending this year. So why not try out Linux? Instead of getting a whole new system and having to deal with the increasing amount of AI junk and adverts in Windows 11.
Pro version, install with English UK language and throwaway email account, disable the crap in the settings once install is completed, takes less time than to fiddle with Linux to make it work like you want it to…
As long as everything works the way it should, sure, I installed it less than a year ago and it wasn’t smooth. Just managing the fact that my computer was plugged to a monitor and a 65" TV was a pain in the ass if I didn’t want to have to fiddle with display settings every time I switched from one to the other, which isn’t an issue on Windows…
That’s a bit of an esoteric setup connected to a monitor and tv so i imagine it would take some extra finagling to set up. Maybe there is some sofware thay could help?

Sounds like a lot more fiddling then just going to linux
After spending a day making my wifi antenna work on Mint (when it’s supposedly compatible out of the box?), no, it’s not.
The last time i installed mint in like 2013 it took less than 45 miinutes. I’m sure in 2025 it’s a much more of a smooth experience.
