To me it was like, oh, you made it different and that makes so much more sense, why are they not doing it like that in Windows? Or just during university; there is a tool for that format? And it is already installed? Nice.
I'm about a year in. I started with mint and I'm on endeavor now. It can be a bit fiddly to get setup. Once setup it behaves the same way, but less ads and copilot/edge aren't forced on you non stop.
The only issue we have is anticheat, and that only affects games like battlefield/cod. So not much of a loss there.
I'm not changing until they make a "Linus Proof" distro...
I really wish we stopped linking users to random niche distros, its just much more common to run into bugs due to less users.
Why not try immutable distros? Fedora silver blue/kionote or bazzite have immutable system images. You cannot break them.
I will wait until they thrust it upon Linus. If it ~~passes~~ survives him. I will look into it.
