    Year of the Linux desktop.

    And I’m pro FOSS.

      Agreed. But it’s particularly bad this year, because

        I use mint and don’t really have any problems.

        The only problem (which is of my own making) I installed it on an external usb drive, so it boots super slow. Other than that, no issues. I’m going to leave it there for a year or so. Then install it on an internal drive (solid state).

        Not saying others don’t have issues. Just that I don’t.

          Yeah! I love to repeat the meme, but there’s a special grain of truth in it this year. There’s going to be folks fleeing Windows 11, and Mint - in particular - is now such a downright practical option.

          I’m too technical myself to comment on how a Linux install goes for non-technical folks.

          But it seems like many of us have quietly moved grandma to Linux in the last few years and she was happy and successful using it.
