If you’re already with Linux, this is not for you. This is for people who’re indecisive or been contemplating for long about whether to make that jump.

For me, it’s a matter of a few things. I’m on a Windows 10 version that guarantees me until 2032 of support. That means I would effectively skip Windows 11, like I already mostly have and potentially skip Windows 12 if that turns out to be a shitty choice. I’d be coming in right in time for whatever Microslop shits out for Win13.

Should Windows 13 suck, I think that’s a consideration. Another consideration is when Valve keeps dropping support for certain Windows versions of Steam. Because I know for a fact they will drop Windows 10 support entirely one day and then Windows 11. I believe it is really stupid that they do this.

By the time my Windows 10 version expires, I’d be getting older, which means I’ll probably care less and less about computer-related things. Going to Linux wouldn’t be a problem since I’d be doing barebones things like browsing and checking e-mail.

And I’d also hope that by 2032, Linux would have better development like easier access to proprietary drivers and software among other things.

    • every modern distro has it
    • what drivers do you struggle with, for gpu popOS, cachyOS, garuda, and most Ubuntu based work out of the box
    • you need to use terminal about as often as on mac or as often as you need to change something in registry in windows
    • every modern distro has it
    • this point is just a misunderstanding of how Linux works

      Adding to this already great post: the control panel depends on the DE used, rather than the distribution. As modern distros have modern DEs, you are not wrong though.
