Windows 11 forced update has completely fucked me. It enabled bitlocker and has locked me out of my drive with all my work on it. I have no key to unlock it and have no way to get through it. This has put me off windows forever. If anyone can help me get my files from this thing I would be eternally grateful and willing to pay.
I’m no fan of apple either for other reasons.
How stupid is it for me to jump into Linux? Anyone have resources to teach myself?
You can get a decent laptop workstation like a Dell precision for fairly cheap if you don’t mind it being a few years old. I’m seeing some pretty good ones on eBay for around $350. If you’d prefer a desktop you’re looking more like $400-500. If you already have a decent GPU to add on your own you can get one for $300ish.
