I still regularly attend a local Linux Users' Group I joined over 20 years ago. Last night something happened I hadn't seen in some time--a brand new Linux user showed up with their Thinkpad looking for advice.
She was a Windows 10 user who drew the line at Windows 11 AI's invasion of privacy, and wanted a clean break. Apparently many of her friends are watching her to see how the switch goes. Interesting times...
