Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

Aye, I used Ubuntu back when I was working retail, as I’d put it on units which didn’t have Windows licences.
How comfortable are you with using the Terminal and learning a new scripting language (called Nix)?
The former is fine for copying and pasting. The latter probably not something I can be arsed with.
The latter is still mostly copying and pasting too FYI, along with reading error messages that generally tell you exactly what’s wrong.
Also, NixOS, is not FHS-compliant, so regular Linux binaries will not run without pagching or running it through a wrapper. AppImages work, but needs appimage-run. Flatpaks work fine as well.
I would only recommend NixOS if the concept of everything being inside of a configuration file that you can copy between machines sounds intriguing to you; otherwise, if you still want ultimate control over everything and want to use a Terminal, Arch. If you just want something that works without having to worry about configuration or copying Terminal commands, I’d go with Pop OS or Linux Mint Debian Edition.
