Glad I could help, if you're looking to try it out and have a spare usb lying around you can try a live version. That loads the OS into ram and allows you to try out the os. most(maybe all) linux distros have one. Fair warning it will be noticeably faster than everything due to running off ram. if you like it enough you can install it alongside Windows, then if you're completely sold you can use the live disk again to expand the Linux partition over Windows.

Here is the neon download page. It has instructions for making a live usb.

ps. i may have also undersold kde, they also have a whole suite of neat applications they've made for their os

    oh jeez lol I've never had a Linux fight. I picked kde neon because I love the ui and neon is bleeding edge for plasma updates. being based on Ubuntu which I was already familiar with sealed the deal. it's very comfortable for Windows users out of the box,and can be customised further into a visual clone of Windows 10/11. I've had a great time gaming on it, very little set up for amd.

    But then everyone's pc was built somewhere by someone. Smartphones could use the same model. It would improve competition between specialised parts manufacture, premade units could be priced according to the sum and performance of their parts, ewaste reduction when people can upgrade only the part they want. There is a lot of consumer upside whether you build or buy premade.

    Microwaves are fantastic cooking tools, and I'm pretty confident you're not using yours to its potential. Defrosting, reheating, steaming, boiling. Does it all in half the time with half the mess. All those settings on the keypad do something good. Most people just wack a few numbers in and let the microwave literally cremate the food on full power. Those reheat and defrost settings apply microwave then switch to low or no power, leaving the applied heat to radiate internally before repeating. Different densities and starting temperatures are accounted for.

    Obviously you wouldn't cook a stir fry or a steak in a microwave. Potatoes before roasting though? Dumplings? Frozens? Yes please Mike.
