Wait, you're telling me that I can use an OS that:

• Doesn't require you to pay an arbitrary $100+ license fee to activate?
• Installer is simple and to the point and allows you to test the OS before installing it?
• Desktop UI looks modern while also being simple to use?
• Can be dual booted with Windows in case I need to use Windows only software?
• Can use programs like Steam, Bottles, Lutris and more to play my video games/run Windows software?
• Receives major upgrades every two years and point releases every few months, but changes are always conservative?
• Is constantly improving based on user experience and feedback and is entirely funded by donations and sponsorships instead of adware and rent-seeking practices?
• Is built on GNU/Linux and free software from around the world made by activists and volunteers, one of the fastest growing operating systems in terms of features and utility?
• Is customizable without feeling too overwhelming or feeling like you changed too much?
• All it takes is a free afternoon and a USB stick with at least 4 GBs of space?
• Has no Microsoft crapware, shitware, spyware and plain malware that everyone treats as normal?

Are you crazy? Is there really a third way? (yes, it isn't perfect, but it will be yours)
