From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It may be true for some professional applications but Linux fits really fine in my life and would also fit really fine in most of my family’s life if they had the courage to get rid of windows.
About gaming, I don’t know, but most people just use their computer for browsing and administrative tasks so they should be okay.
Those of us in media production simply can’t use Linux. We use too many complicated programs by major companies that are not native to Linux.
Basically all this is bs. The truth is: switching os' is always hard but if you grow up with one(like me who started with linux and didnt try windows until the age of 15) and only use that one ecosystem its easier. Also according to my grandma(her laptop was really slow so we tried linux on it) manjaro is easier to use than windows...
Great graphic, this needs to be a t-shirt
Nah, I will admit there are quirks, but compared to Windows it was easier to install, easier to manage (Yast2 GUI) and has been much more stable and performant than W10. Even runs Proprietary CAD better than Windows. Webex Teams, MS Teams, Teamviewer, Edge Browser all functioning so that my daily work is same as Windows. The comments about hard to run virtual machines ? wut? dead simple. And windows apps arent needed when you sign into Office 365. Outlook actually runs better via web that local. Just a poorly researched article.
