I have loaded and ran Linux multiple times on multiple devices and still just can't seem to get the hang of it for a daily driver. I wish windows didn't exist in a way so I would be forced to stay with it. That way I would have no choice but to learn it. Far as activating ESU for some reason I guess MS just didn't like my old PC build because they would not even allow me to do that with it. It's ok, I just used that old machine to build a TrueNas for the home network and built myself a new damn near completely silent PC with Win11 on it to run as my daily driver and for my audio needs in my office. I would recommend TrueNas to anyone who is fed up with paying for high as hell cloud service. It was a great project.
