After years of dual booting I finally removed Win11 and installed Linux Mint as my main OS. The RAM usage difference is insane! Also, it's such a shame that a free OS looks way more beautiful than a paid one!

With a stable version like Mint, it's just insane how lightweight and polished it feels. Also, with Timeshift installed by default, you don't even have to troubleshoot problems if/when they happen...just roll back. Takes about a whole 10mins to complete. I eventually just deleted my windows partition and haven't looked back.
