    I switched about a year ago, and I'm thriving in it now! It's really powerful; I basically only use it.

    I definitely wouldn't recommend it to just anyone though. They have to be either technical or show interest about it first. There's a lot of compromises and/or complications that arise when you want to do some pretty basic things sometimes. I could ramble about this for a while. I believe this will get much better in the next years though, as things 'just work' a lot more. Maybe in a decade or so.

    Linux definitely has a bright future, though. Love it for its privacy benefits and ewaste reducing abilities (it can resurrect nearly any old computer). I love that I can game with ease on it now. I love that stuff like the Steam Deck is coming out - it shows all the cool stuff you can do with Linux-based OSes, and Steam OS looks promising for Linux beginners.

      The difference in using desktop Linux 10 years ago to now has been huge.
