A Grateful Windows Refugee

Grateful to this community and all the others who have invested & sacrificed their time and efforts over the past 4 decades to provide a safe haven for us Windows refugees to land. Excited to be part of the community and look forward to a long and prosperous endeavor together! Transitioned & rescued 1 laptop and 2 desktops not fit for Windows 11 now running smoother and faster with Zorin OS 18.1 Pro (X11). !! NO MORE MICROSOFT !! Deleted all Microsoft accounts & products. DONE!!!

You may hit a few obstacles, but nothing that this forum can't solve. I haven't regretted my jump for a moment.

Congratulations @MayfieldWM61 for breaking the Microslop shackles, that bounded you to Win11. When you switched to Zorin OS, you took back the ownership of your computer. You paid for it, so it should belong to you, not Microslop! I was a Windows refugee, back when Zorin OS was at version 9. I am happy to be here myself.

Welcome to the forum and Zorin_OS! I'm glad to see you've managed to repurpose some computers that Microsoft would have had you throw into landfill as E-waste. I hope everything continues smoothly and you enjoy the experience.

I second to that, this forum stands out amongst so many others in friendliness, helpfulness and knowledge. It is really welcoming and a main factor why people stick to Zorin.
