Didn’t have many subscriptions (all US are cancelled) and was mostly eating Canadian food already. Swapping now what else is left … what now? I am so mad at the USA I need something else to take my anger out on.

If you use a windows computer you could look into Linux. It's a bit complicated to get ahold of if you're not super tech savvy and are super used to Microsoft products but it is doable.

Look into what software, hardware, games, etc that you use your PC for and see if they're Linux compatible. If not, find alternatives that could work for you. (Example, instead of Microsoft office you can try LibreOffice)

For me as an example, I primarily use my PC for gaming. The Proton compatibility layer allows me to play all my games on Linux (except for Garden warfare 2, which won't run due to an incompatible anti-cheat software)

Overall, do your research, find how compatible your own setup is and what distribution is right for you.

For new users, Linux Mint is a popular choice.
