I switched to Linux myself but can we please stop lying about Linux being a drop-in replacement? There is enough sofware that does not work.
I might just be tired but I'm having a hard time understanding what you're asking.
As a European I'm so gratefull people didn't "go for talks" on that day they stormed the beaches.. sometimes you have to actually fight for your ideals and not water them down every time they are opposed..
Remote?
So you think that what you have described above is something all Windows 10 users deal with?
For all it's shortcomings this sounds more of something on your end and also something quirky that you will any OS really..
In this context an unsupported cpu would be an i7 7700K for example. Hardly e-waste and can perform quite well..
That lasagna is DONE..
Kinda disagree here, my parents also won't install Windows or any other OS by themselves. An average person isn't going to switch to an alternate OS. Because they do not care.
An average person however IS going to want that specific Windows only mail client, legacy applications that don't run on Linux or use their bank website that isn't supported by Linux.
This is a one way ticket to making yourself the sole family sysadmin.
IT Crowd for me
It's not about performance but compatibility. Such as certain anti-cheat software in online games.
You took this out of the context it was in.
