Sinners! The electronic rapture is nigh upon us! Find your salvation in the holy book of GNU!

Our GNU which art in Linux
Hallowed be thy uname -r
Thy source code run
Thy git pull done
On Localhost, as it is in the Cloud
Amen.

Me knowing that you can't because windows already bricked my SSD

That turned out to be because of some prerelease ssds with nonfinalized firmware that shouldn't have been in the wild.

https://www.techspot.com/news/109370-windows-11-cleared-all-charges-killing-ssds-real.html

The group speculated (and Phison later confirmed) that this early firmware was the real cause of the instability. Unlike the finalized firmware shipping on retail drives, the engineering preview caused crashes under stress. To prove the point, Phison ran the same stress tests (100GB to 1TB sustained writes) on consumer-available SSD models and reported no failures or crashes.

How would one do this remotely?

Well, what I can tell you is that you won't brick your computer trying to install an OS.

Get a usb and test drive mint by just booting off it and not installing it.

It looks nice and takes the mystery away from it.

Just need to get into your bios menu pressing f2 or f12 or delete or esc when you first turn on computer, change boot medium from c:drive to usb

OS installs are easier than you'd think. you need to know two things: (1) don't unplug your computer mid-install, and (2) don't reset you computer mid-install unless it tells you to. Everything else, like they have wizards now

If only the Bitrate was a bit higher to avoid these odd glitches in the glass.

I mean... If you can make it run all my games perfectly including Valorant, VR games on the quest 2, etc, then sure! For me its way too much of a learning process to get started

If I could get an RDP solution as seamless and performant as Windows RDP + a window manager that can be controlled without a mouse a la Power toys - I'd probably switch full-time and stop dual booting.
