[Linux] Alienatick:
I'm really sorry if I offended you in any way, it wasn't my intention , I'm from Mozambique, and it's the same thing as there,most people just run Windows, not because it runs perfect, but because they think it's the only OS that exists.

I'm not an engineer, and I've only started using Linux not long ago, there's not much that I know about it, but it runs well on my 2013 laptop and my 2014 desktop, both in a WM and a DE.

Linux was built to be a desktop OS, if not people wouldn't be increasing in every Windows update.

I don't know if I possess enough background to say this, but, Linux was designed to be a Desktop OS, but at first I think it was pointed towards people with enough knowledge to use it and understand the demands needed for daily use, but that's been changing lately as there are distros for newbs like me, like Ubuntu (which is being destroyed by Canonical), Linux Mint, Fedora (I think), Zorin and many others, because they are meant for newbs it doesn't mean that the distro maintainers will know how every user in the world wants to use his computer and put as much programs as they think it's needed like Microsoft does, that's just unnecessary waste of storage memory and processing power.

Linux is for everyone, you'll just need to put the effort to make it your OS.

I don't think I'd ever like Windows or MacOS, what's the point of paying for an OS that comes bundled with a ton of adds!?

What's the point of paying for an OS that does not respect my privacy!?

What's the point of paying for an OS that does it's almost always insecure!?

Though I still have Windows on a separate HD, that hasn't been connected to the internet in the 2 years that has been installed there, because I only use it for Gaming, indeed, gaming in Linux is still a pain and drivers are a mess.

But that does not mean that it's impossible to game on Linux, take the Steam Deck as an example, it comes with Arch in it.

And some people with nice GPU's say that gaming experience is a lot better on Linux than it was on Windows, I don't have a dedicated GPU, so I can't relate to that.

Drivers, maybe one of the most annoying things in Linux, well, this just means that we just need to be picky about the hardware we buy, overall Linux (Communities) tries as much as it possible to respect users privacy and provide a secure system, so I don't think using any sort of proprietary drivers would be of any help in this, there's already a lot of brands out there that build drivers for Linux as well, printers, game controllers, etc. And if there's a certain device you have that does not have drivers and you got the cash, buy an alternative and it's done.

As for me, I don't have much to say about drivers, most of the hardware in my laptop got support, I don't have much things to plug on my devices besides keyboards, mouses and USB devices, so I don't care that much about drivers, and the printers at my workplace, are all HP so I have drivers for them.

But at the end of the day, you use whatever makes you happy, Life is already ****ty, so what would be the point of using something just because a person thinks whats best for you?

You use Windows because it makes your life easier and you're happy with it, even with all the the problems it comes with it.

I use Windows, because it makes my life a bit easier at some extent and I really like even with all the issues it comes with, even with the amount of things I have to do manually, it still makes me happy.

Just use whatever the hell makes you feel good with yourself, even if it's a Mac.

Most people don't have time or don't give themselves time to learn new things, or just don't want to tinker around with the stuff they have, that's why you'll hardly find institutions, stores or people that use Linux.
