  • This is not true:

    If checking your mail, browsing and streaming is all you care about without the Windows nonsense, with some scattershot choice of gaming, then Linux is for you.

    Everything else in your post is preference, which is fine. I do not understand the love for Notepad++ but that is your choice.

    But when you said Linux is basically checking mail and the rare game, well that is nonsense.

    I use Linux because I need reliability and no bullshit so I can do my work. I remote into all sorts of environments and deal with Windows often, I would never want any of that on my home or work computer. Windows is too slow and too broken for me to rely on for earning money.

    But I also do all my hobbies: music production, photography, graphic design, 3d modeling, 3d printing, creating web pages, etc. There is really nothing I need windows for.

    As for games: My library shows 1200 games ready to play, so I am not sure why you say “scattershot”. I am playing the latest Resident Evil Requiem right now. Works perfectly, no set up steps at all.

    So fine, maybe linux isn’t for you, but no reason to spread fud.
