I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don’t even use chrome, i’ve switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

      As someone who was recently driven, leave it. It’s never going to get better, only worse. And linux is only going to get better the more you understand it.

          The penguin is patient and will welcome you when you have the fish / time.

          If you are unsure i’d personally would also advice you to start with a dual-boot setup, so you can always temporary switch back if you get frustrated with something (or are under pressure from outside forces to get something done) and dont know how yet.

          Normally when you return later with a clear head you’ll likely be able to find a solution to your problem that doesnt require you to switch the OS.

          Just a suggestion.

          Have a nice day anyways!

            Once upon a time I dual booted every computer I had. Not sure why I fell out of the habit really.

          Jeez. I remember 25 years ago when we reinstalled Windows every 6 months to a year or so as a matter of course. It was literally recommended to do so because of the buildup of cruft and garbage. These days, people can’t be bothered to download an iso and press a few “next” buttons.

            I’m not going to try and argue that I’m not being lazy, but the actual process of installing the OS is the least onerous part. Software beats it by a mile.

          You’d be surprised. Ubuntu is basically download it for free onto USB drive, plug in USB drive, start computer, choose to start Ubuntu from drive, try it out, if you like it click install, and you’re done.

            +1 on this recommendation. Live distros are definitely the best way to dip your toe in the Linux desktop world without accidentally wrecking your system.
