Something adjacent to degoogling: I am concerned that Microsoft would collaborate with the Trump Regime. I never used Linux before, but I am now downloading Ubuntu. It feels like that I should do a dual-boot setup and get ready to abandon Windows if I hear about MS HQ in Washington having a DOGE presence.
Here’s hoping that Europe and the Blue States are watching Microsoft for anything weird.

Yes, Microsoft has no qualms about bending to governments, same with all other corporations.
Entirely plausible. Almost all civilian federal systems are Microsoft powered. They’d do anything to not squander that contract, I’m sure.
TBH, I assisted with some linux installs and setting up a dual boot was troublesome. Installing a clean install worked easier!
If you have an old, spare laptop around, I recommend trying linux first with that laptop before making the plunge.
Linux is not really that hard to get used to. Welcome to the club the water is fine.
