PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

    Installing Linux was a good decision.

    I have not gone back to Microsoft Windows.

    Don’t listen to people telling you it’s hard. I don’t have an IT degree or engineering degree. Installing it was easy. Linux is elegant, secure and powerful. I love it.

        Or rely on software that is not available in Linux and can’t be emulated, which unfortunately applies to both my work and personal use

          It’s exactly this. There are SteamOS-like systems out there (Bazzite and CachyOS) but it’s a pain if you don’t know what you’re doing. Needless to say, Enterprises will be using Windows for a very long time since they can easily restrict software and such - and a lot of their software is Windows-based only.

            Yeah every thread is basically “lol bro just use Linux, skill issue”… I’m very comfortable with Linux, shell scripting and all those things. Been doing is almost 30 years. There are a wide range of things that are just not supported, which makes it a non-starter for a lot of people.

        I have 2 servers, 6 containers, a raspi, a desktop, and a laptop all running linux just fine. My two phones send notification updates to my laptop via kde connect

        I have lots of devices on linux and they all play nice together
