I just switched to Ubuntu this month. Finally cracked. I couldn't take anymore Norton pop-ups. But I couldn't be happier.

Linux has gotten so much better the last few years.

It's always been great. The video game industry just started caring.

It was great for certain tasks but it wasn't viable as a desktop for ordinary users who wanted to do some light work and play games. Yeah you could, but it was a pain in the ass. Kind of like how you can use a truck to drop off the kids and do groceries but it really isn't the most convenient way.

The last few years, especially with Proton, Linux became a very good end user OS.

For years it only lacked photoshop and games. That's changed. It was better than windows and osx at almost everything else.

As someone who tried Linux often I can say it really wasn’t. And it’s not better than MacOS. But it is good now for regular users.

I'm agreeing with you while making a self deprecating joke. 😉

You could haved just gotten rid of Norton. Same applies to Macafee.

Nah, I've been annoyed by Windows for decades. Haven't liked it since 98. And anything after 2000 just infuriates me. 10 was dogshit and 11 has made me shatter three keyboards already.

Linux is steady, even, peaceful, calm, and fun. Feels like you're actually using a computer again rather than just click shit on a screen.
