Microsoft released the Windows 11 autumn update at the beginning of October. However, a bug has crept in. The installation creates an almost nine gigabyte cache file that cannot be deleted.
Yeah, I’ve been avoiding this stuff the past few months by only letting my laptop online for quick essentials things. It’s windows, I can’t replace it with a mac so it’s gotta be linux. Most online stuff I can do on my phone. But I can’t put it off forever; I’m going to have to try the linux dual boot thing sooner or later. I’ve been putting it off because I’ve not used linux since the 90s and I really don’t have time to re-learn. Gotta be done tho.
Edit - your semicolon inspired me to try one of my own!
dual boot is very simple and stable, I’ve been using Ubuntu / windows 10 for years after following a 10-minute YouTube video and basically only switch over to windows for games.
It’s a great setup overall If there are some windows applications you prefer or are more convenient.
Reading all this makes me sad; and I’m relieved to have switched to Mac years ago…

Linux is a lot, lot, lot easier to use now than the 90s.
I’ve been daily driving it for quite a while now and have had zero issues even with constant updates.
I never used linux and was surprised how easy and almost seamless the transiton was.
For most people it is more than a good enough drop-in replacement for Windows.
