Yeah, I was running NT4 when 2000 came out all of a sudden I got all the best of 95 plus the stability of NT. By the time the public would truly be reaping the advantages of 2000 they’d already rolled most of that into consumer Windows.
If you only need a Chromebook, you’re 100% fine in most of the easy distros with non-free.
Getting steam running was pretty easy. Forcing proton shouldn’t be hidden. Proton stability is still 95% which is good but maybe not good enough for the public to flock to it.
Fractional scaling in gnome (different display rez) is just semi working as of a couple months ago. Kde is better but not default. Gnome pluggins are poorly surfaced and necessary to ease windows users over.
We need Adobe products 100% in wine or native.
Fucking VPN, strongswan is in not easy to handle. Logs, errors are not setup by default. Fought it for three days.
We’re not going to see wide adoption until the cli is 100% optional, and all the apps they want to use are available and stable through the GUI.
I use Proton VPN, wich has good encrytion and don’t log, even the free one. Normally free VPN are not so recomendable, but there are also exceptions, like ProtonVPN, Windscribe and also maybe the browser extension from 1VPN (OpenSource) which can serve for occasional use, the only lack they have, they naturally are limited in amount of servers and /or Data ammount only in Windscribe, 10GB/month, Proton and 1VPN are without Data limit), but all three are trustworth to use, no logs and good encryption.
As someone who had windows 2000…damn I never realized it basically never took off

Linux never rised above 3%, but I think that it will change fast with W12 and 365. MacOS never was a real alternative, except in its first years.
It’s so much better than it used to be.
But it’s still too rough in places.

Trying to specifically connect to my own L2TP. I controlled the vertical and horizontal. Had mac and windows connecting with minimal effort.
Turns out I had to set the (optional) internal connection ID as the IP of my server. I went back through 6 years of forum posts on every distro.
Normal in Windows, after 1-2 good working versions always follow 1-2 crappy versions.
and as someone who had windows me even more oof but that one was truly garbage so no surprise there
