and if it's a lie, terrorists made me say it
I told it I didn't want to upgrade and my computer stopped bugging me for a few months. Then a week or two ago, it started up again in overdrive - and coincidentally, my copy of Win 7 started getting really buggy out of nowhere.

I ended up dual-booting Win 7 and Linux Mint just as a stopgap while I figured out how to make Windows 10 never upgrade on my PC, but honestly other than occasionally hopping back to Windows to play some Rocksmith or help my friend edit his Let's Play videos I haven't felt the need to leave Mint. It does pretty much everything I want it to do, and it's way faster and less bloated than Windows 7 was.

Installing my Nvidia drivers was kind of a bitch, but then I remember when I did a clean reboot of Windows 7 a year or two ago I had to hunt down drivers on a different computer for my ethernet adapter and sound card just to be able to connect to the internet, lol. Linux literally did everything except the graphics card for me.
