Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.

I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.

    I’m not a big Linux head but have a steam deck and android phone. Have a laptop that I just really can’t see myself putting windows 11 on. And from the nice unproblematic experience i’ve had on steam deck I’m going to put mint on it.

      I hear good things about Chimera OS feeling a lot like Steam OS when you’re trying to get a similar experience for laptops, if that’s what you’re going for.
