I’ll use Linux for a few things and I do appreciate it
I don’t like using terminal for everything, I want to click stuff with my stupid 50 button mouse like a dummy, and I don’t want to install dependencies every time I went to do something new on my computer, I just want it to come bloated with too many drivers to cover my bases for 90% of use cases and not have to think about it.
These two statements are at odds with each other. If you did use Linux at all you would know everything else you said is false.
Not trying to convince anybody, but I decided to switch over to Linux on my personal laptop after having a terrible experience with a forced Windows 11 upgrade on my work laptop. I thought it would be more difficult, but the only time I had to even use the terminal was to maybe fix one of my internal hard drives not auto mounting, and to get a couple programs working. 90% of all my apps work out of flatpak/pre-installed “software store” in Linux Mint. Even been doing some moderate gaming on Steam, and everything just works, mostly. I actually got Outer Wilds working better in Linux than in Windows. There are some oddities, but I am sure they’re only “odd” because I’ve been using Windows since like 1999. I am confident the only thing I’ll ever need Windows for is my work laptop and maybe MS Office. I can do 95% of stuff in the brower with MS’s online Office 360, but there are some deficiencies.
I am excited to be slightly challenged with a new OS experience!
