2020: the year of Linux.



I got my ISO images from a distributor when the getting was good and all I need from Microsoft is to continue to activate with the keys I have; if they don't do that then I'll maybe switch to Linux faster than otherwise, but I can't see me using any operating system they put out after the abominations that were 8 and 10.
