Post Body

Linux seems to be the only alternative but I am not sure exactly how to go about it.

I read basics but ugh there is so much. Truthfully I am ill and exhausted whole lot of time at best and its been hard on me to do much especially the tech stuff.

I am not total newbie to computers but I don't know coding, computer repairs, etc. I know how to surf the web, I know how to read but I don't always understand everything tech related I read.

I have two pc right now I could get into detail about the woes and issues with it but truthfully I am too tired right now.

Maybe later but I will share some details of some of my current experiences and issues with computers and not knowing what to do.

I tried really hard to learn how to do game content, blender, even attempted to do graphics with some success but mostly failures.

My most recent attempt was after my newest gaming pc which I can give the exact stats on it if it helps but the system from what it was listed and what I got differed from microsoft store. A month after I got it I was told by the health program my computer wouldn't be able to upgrade to windows 11. I was pissed and overwhelmed because I spent over 1800 on this pc I thought I got rtx 3080, but it was 3070, nvidia rtx graphic card. It was i7 with 16 ram of 3,300 mhz best machine I ever been able to afford and most of time I have little to no extra money so it was big deal.

I was overwhelmed in what to do so I got this game called Vintage Story even with the newest stuff I was running into issues and I wanted to custom block and that required knowing several different programs like java and I literally couldn't do it.

My older pc is windows 10 pro its i5, not alot of ram or any other features. I just got it before COVID it was cheap the guy delivered it from Facebook and I had little to no clue about the os truthfully.

It works.

Mainly I just prefer virtually fishing and building in Minecraft, watching YouTube videos, emailing and that's all I do.

Sometimes when I am up for it I do digital art. Over the years I tried to learn different techniques but I have struggle in major ways whenever my brain glitches out.

Other than that I have little to no skill when it comes to pc. I read up the new changes with window 11 and even if I could come up with more cash for another pc that had windows 11 it doesn't seem worth it.

I got no clue what to do but I am tired of being held hostage by windows but not sure Linux is for me. But what other alternative do I have?

On my windows 10 pro I got second hard drive I could put the os on but not sure how to get it to recognize it. C drive whenever I try to change or add to it I get error message saying I don't have permission to do that but thats where my windows 10 pro is I like to keep it for now plus its not got tons of space there left.

In recent months even with the gaming pc off my data has went from 200gb to 400gb and its effecting my internet to make it worse.
