And now we’ll get the “Just switch to Linux!” crowd.
Linux has come a long way, but it’s nowhere near being usable by the average user. Unless you’re willing to spend hours, days, even weeks learning all the commands and quirks it isn’t worth it. Linux is great and I’m sure it’ll get to that point someday, but it a replacement to Windows yet.
You don’t really need to learn any commands for distros like Mint Linux or Pop!OS. For most people, they could switch without even really noticing that much of a change.
If you require specific programs for work, I would not recommend making the change at this time.
I’ll switch to Linux the moment Playnite gets a native working port on Linux and not a moment sooner. All my laptops run some flavour of Linux, but my gaming… I need playnite, it’s just so nice to use.
Idk, like if the average person is the one who uses the os as a bootloader for $whatever_browser, then there’s little to no difference. And if some windows-specific software is necessary, then windows is just way easier, I guess (wine works fine for me personally, tho).
On the other hand, if you want the os to behave the way you want, then Linux is way simpler.
