[QUOTE="jas3, post: 77673400, member: 447851"] I played around with it back when it was Backtrack Linux. It was interesting to look around, and I tried using some of the pentesting tools on my home network without any success. PC, with a Mac you're paying extra for the brand name and supporting a company that is famous for its opposition to your ability to repair your own device and its use of planned obsolescence (or even forced obsolescence). As long as your files are backed up and you have another computer with internet access to make a new recovery flash drive (and your Windows installation key), there's nothing to worry about. Worst case scenario you have to wipe everything, repartition, and reinstall Windows before installing Linux. The main thing is to ensure you have a path back to a working Windows installation if you want it. For Windows 11, I don't know if the installation process is different. I just know the setup process is much worse than any previous version, and I had to unplug the router halfway through setting up my wife's laptop to get it to allow me to set up a normal account instead of signing in to a MS account. The whole ordeal reminded me why I switched to Linux years ago. [/QUOTE]
