Windows 10 and Linux are pretty good
What timing, after seeing the news about Windows 12 yesterday, this morning I was considering starting a conversation with the researchers at work about pressuring the scientific instrument companies they buy from to support Linux. The one facility in the building that has Bruker instruments runs AlmaLinux, and they've been spared from all the pain.

"How likely are you to recommend putting your hand up to the elbow in this wood chipper?"
Like, if you're in the business of building PCs? I definitely understand swapping build tips with friends and colleagues. Even strictly within the "No Linux Allowed" space, there's no shortage of online tutorials and consultants recommending this or that version of Microsoft.
But Win10 is going away and Win11 is so fucking bad...
Lol, I love Linux, but yeah... boy do I hate the Linux fans.
That comment was basically Microsoft's business plan ever since like windows 8 until they made it no longer true by making windows so bad "what OS should I use" did become a topic, at least with the nerdier segment of the population.
Though on the other hand, that 90%+ segment of the population still doesn't gaf other than "why are computers so hard?" style complaints.
Tell that to apple fans
I thought with them it was more about the entire device than just the OS. People might say they love their mac but nobody is telling friends & family to just install macOS on that old PC that's losing Microsoft support.
Ah, true. I forgot this for a moment
actually ... never mind
They do, don't they? People would complain about certain things of Windows or MacOS not working. And if it fits the situation, recommendation might me voiced.
I highly recommend that you recommend some recommended operating systems.
To be fair, the only time operating systems come up in conversation is when someoneβs computer is broken and suddenly everyone becomes an IT expert. π
