Loud and clear. I was curious what you meant by "conceptually."
You claim that, since 2008, Linux has had no changes/progress in interface, sidebars, effects, themes, and customizations. I do not think that is a tenable claim.
As for the Linux issues, I am curious to know when you last tried Linux and which distro(s) you tried? I have several printers, "unusual" Zebra & Rollo thermal printers to regular laser printers. I have a dual monitor setup. All the utilities you mentioned work fine on my system, with the exception of I do not use any merge managers.
I do not think there is any evidence to support that. "The audience that uses Windows", by in large, is extremely unsophisticated. The average user could not tell you anything about the filesystem or architecture he is running. "Average" people become accustomed to what they are given (or purchase). Period. Microsoft has the advantage of being the big & first commercial desktop -Critical OS Theory, I call it. I have personally replaced individuals' and organizations' OS's with Linux. Just show them where their "Internet" is, and let them fly.
You do not have to worry about me becoming emotional, but you should know that this comes off as emotional and inflammatory:
yea yea, sure. You win in internet. 1:0. Good job.
Please do not tag me anymore, because i really too old for arguing in internet about holywar shit. I have my own opinion and vision how things are, and i respect yours. But i do not wish to argue. Really.
Conceptually.
When LMDE 6 comes out this summer, I think that will become my default desktop distro. LMDE 5 is already great, but the Linux Mint team has been going from strength to strength in recent years. I predict LMDE 6 (based on Debian 12) will be a very special distro, if the current pattern holds true. Cross fingers they stay consistent and don't screw it up.
That thread is just a BS pro-NATO echo chamber waste of time. I'm taking a long break.
On this topic, it's you who are funny. You say you are too shit scared of being monitored/privacy violated that you switch to linux. I link you to a bonfide site where journalist writes that Intel chips have MINIX OS embedded that can see everything you do so even if you switch away from MS Windows spyware "they" can still access your PC if they want. Then you reply and link to a blog site saying yes, there is MINIX OS spyware in the Intel chips that you can't do anything about but not to worry about it. LOL. You are too funny.
Either you in denial or a very illogical person.

get trained on it and you would be able to hack and control any Intel machine out there.
It's not a problem if you think like noclout, just change to linux and pretend problem doesn't exist.
2 year wait is over

Does anyone know if they've gotten League of Legends to a decent state when it comes to running it on Linux?
@SirFoxy as far as i know, Nobara linux runs it out of the box. but not 100% sure on that.
For home use, ubuntun should be a good choice since it has better support for most of hardware devices.
Go for ubuntu or its spins it is well supported and almost all software are available for it easily. not to mention proprietry drivers are built in.
I have Fedora currently on my work pc just because the pc itself is slow and linux runs better. and as a bonus i get to tinker around and spend the rest of my shift troubleshooting. it is a good time passer, i think am gunna go for arch to see how much my productivity would plummit😁.
joking aside .fedora is a good choice too if you wanna spend extra tine setting up nvidia drivers and with fedora 38 full access to flathub is available with one click.
my main pc is windows for sure the only things good about linux is it is light weight and the repositories are organized and neat and super convenient no next next next..thats about it.
On a good specd machine i would go windows its not just about gaming its the Overall experience everything is just available and it just works...
on linux i still debate if i install a flatpak or a snap or an rpm lol and a simple driver can brick your whole OS and kernel happened to me wasnt fun, anyways without wine i would never use linux as half our infrastructure software runs on windows only.
macOS on the other hand is complete pile of shit especially on arm all the software i use doesnt run natively just with exeption to visual studio and the browser.. if you are a video editor or graphic designer yea its kinda nice having a good battery life with the performance but thats not the OS its the hardware, mac is the only OS that i cant use for more than 10minutes it drives me nuts if i need a simple software i spend hours looking and its right there on windows and linux.
most of this post is offtopic. oh well i got carried away
At home I use openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux. In the past I was a heavy FreeBSD user, but largely gave up on it due to poor drivers on hardware that isn't an 12-year-old ThinkPad.
Just realised the video is apex legends not LoL.
But you should probably worth checking out nobara anyway.
Debian 12 Review. might have to jump back on the Debian bandwagon.
In for a penny, in for a pound, you should never jump from the merry-go-round!
My main OS still Windows, I already tried many distros for personal use but I prefer Fedora or Ubuntu.
I don't really have a favorite Desktop operating system from a convenience perspective. They seem to all have benefits and drawbacks. I alternate between Debian, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and Windows 11 depending on what I'm working on. If people stopped offering me money to make Windows software I'd probably almost never use Windows.
I feel like that living without a linux device (should has a terminal to interact with) in hand makes me feel anxiety and unsafe
Also sleeping with linux next to the pillow can protect you from bad ghost and nightmare
above are my personal opinion
