Just got back from a long but enjoyable day as I've convinced yet another to escape Windows and join Linux

Hopefully they should feel more comfortable with building their own computer and using Linux in general as I went through the entire process with them; from having them insert their new CPU all the way to boot switching between Linux and Windows 10 via ~~BIOS~~ UEFI

They've got a few proprietary requirements remaining (hence the dual boot) but 95% of their apps are now on PopOS (they're planning to switch to Arch in about 3-4 months after some certain conditions are met)

Just wanted to share this as I've missed posting on the fedicomms and also wanted to provide an update for afking🤗

Anyways here's another to Windows's death ~~knell~~ null!🎉

The pedant in me dictates I must say you probably mean UEFI and not BIOS
