Lengths required for this solution: purchase computer and use it.
Lengths required for Linux: spend 10 years understanding all the technical underpinnings so that you can get a basic install going and then realize you can’t accomplish 98% of what you need to because it’s a piece of shit not made for desktop use.
Your understanding of Linux is about 10 years out of date my friend. Linux has made massive strides in ease of install and use in recent years.
If you’re not playing games - and the people buying these machines aren’t - then you’ll have as stable and easy an experience with Linux as you would with Windows
I developed games professionally for 2 decades and ran MANY startups. If you think I don’t get it, THINK AGAIN
Linux people need to get a fucking grip. It’s a shitty tool for EVERYBODY except developers.
The year of Linux on the desktop was 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025
You need to understand that your ZEAL shows how little you understand about the overall landscape of OS and tech.
