The fact that you get a full OS for free, customizable and no crappy forced in features that you don’t want is amazing.

I can stress enough that my experience with Linux has been resoundingly positive, it’s almost like that finnish bill gates guy made a golden goose of an OS.

Ever since I upgraded my WiFi to pcie and moved to Fedora, it has been nothing but smooth sailing.

• AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike

•Customize Fedora to my liking, made it more like windows with the extensions provided

• What’s this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!

• The mascot of Linux? 10/10 and penguins are one of my 2nd favourite animals

How was your experience with this Unix-like wonder? In a home user manner and/or a business use manner?

Let me know!

    In what year are you in? macOS and Windows both have App Stores. Windows has the built-in winget package manager, similar to apt that has open contributions on github and all the software in the world.

    I use both Linux and Windows actively and macOS from time to time. Linux works really well it’s free and I love it and it is definitely great if your workflow is all browser-based and/or you don’t have to collaborate on a very specific industry with very proprietary tools as default that everyone expect to be used. If you’re in such industries and people expect to share complex MS Word, Excel, Adobe, Autodek etc. files then Linux isn’t for you, you’ll be in more compatibility pain than anyone should be in.

      The default built-in GUI Microsoft Store absolutely positively sucks. The winget package manager is also not meant for the regular people.
