You can do all the privacy measures in the world, but if the people you talk to are using spyware then it’s all out the window. (literally Windows, get it?)
This video breaks down some of the basic reasons to switch to Linux so you can convince your friends: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/why-linux-beats-windows/
I reinstalled ubuntu 23 today and after sleep the laptop was just stuck at async error. No way to get out of it other than force shutdown. This happened twice out of 3 times i put it to sleep.
you think if i told a normie this is the issue i face he will switch to linux?
surely there are never problems with windows
i also have windows installed and no it never did apparently.
Hardware can be an issue, but for sleep and even hibernate I would suggest OpenSUSE, it has not failed me
