    I used liveboot for debian and it worked great! obviously didn’t save anything on reboot since it’s just a USB but I connected to WiFi, got my browser, used 1password, and even found a Linux openvpn app for openconnect for work that actually works. just need to check so my cam and microphone works for zoom :)

      have you found any negatives that would potentially turn an average user off of linux? i’m strongly debating moving to mint, so i don’t want to accidentally overlook something that might be a dealbreaker

        so far things have gone well; i haven’t replaced windows at all yet but everything i could do in windows i could do in debian 12 (using gnome). except for fork :(. heroic, steam, and lutris can run plenty of games though.

        i think the only thing that didn’t work was when i tried it on my desktop which has two aoc monitors.

        edit: deciding to go with mint actually because it looks nicer and i like the community. also the dev is irish :]

        edit 2: oh also disable bitlocker first :^
