Nobody’s complaints with setting Linux up are that it runs slowly.

Eehh… I put Mint on my old laptop, and it was like being stuck in a tar, even though it ran Windows 10 without problems. In the end I just switched it, to another distro, and now it works fine.

It is probably a Windows thing, yes. I just had to do it the most often with Vista, which soured my experience with the operating system.

I hated vista, because I had to repair and re-install it multiple times on my less-tech sawwy friends PC, since sometimes it would simply kill itself! Lol. I do not miss that garbage pile.
