Honestly, I think the biggest thing for me using Linux the last 10+ years has been I find it easier to stay updated. I can just run one command like apt update && apt upgrade -y
or write a short script to include Flatpak or whatever else to get everything updated; whereas with Windows it feels like a crapshoot whether updates actually get pushed to my machine, and it also seems to just bug out on me frequently and need me to delete a corrupted download or whatever… and once that’s done I gotta worry about updating drivers and apps.
Other than that, I guess the more customization is nice so I can change my desktop when I’m bored and need something new. Plus I’m personally much more comfortable in a Linux shell than Windows command prompt. But really day-to-day my experience is similar to Windows these days, in terms of stability and being able to get stuff done.
And I primarily use Mint, for it’s worth :)
100% gotta have some teeth behind it, else it’ll be the same story with a new date lol
