content: Switching FROM windows to another OS Hello /v/technology, As the days go by from the windows 10 launch, more and more disturbing information is being reported about how Orwellian Microsoft has become. As a concerned Microsoft user, I no longer wish to be a part of their information collection database. I do not, however, know what to switch to or where to go to look for help. I have in the past (approx 2-3 years ago) tried to run Linux Mint, but there were features and programs that are windows exclusive that I use everyday. I did try and run some of them through Wine, but I'm not tech savvy enough to look through a bunch of code and understand what I'm looking at to find the specific bit I need to change to get something to work.  Basically, I would like some guidance in switching from Microsoft. It seems as though a lot of you are achieving this and I'm just getting stuck somewhere.  The program that I NEED to use everyday is called Sibelius 7. I would also like to be able to play games, such as Hearthstone and Rocket league just as some more info. TL;DR I need help switching from Microsoft to another OS. Can't get some of my programs to work on Linux Mint. Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope.
