2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

Ya I'm a Linux system administrator and comments like that are beyond annoying. Linux is not user friendly lol

Also my workstation is Windows 11, your tears fuel me

    Clearly you haven't used desktop Linux for any period of time. Its not the same as a server and is pretty nice and friendly.

    Yeah I'm a Linux and Windows sysadmin for almost 15 years and don't really care what it is in practice, just disagree with Microsoft on many things. People have actually argued to me here why I shouldn't use Windows Server in an enterprise setting, as if a sysadmin who doesn't prefer Windows would have any bearing on such things. It's also funny how people seem to think managing Windows is very different than managing Linux, you're basically doing the same things, I really only interact with Windows in the same manner I interact with Linux it's just remote powershell instead of ssh. Building Windows server is just running a powershell script, building Linux server is just running the playbook.

    Also I disable mostly everything through group policy on Windows and remove all the dumb stuff with remove-appxpackage. Use both for workstations too.
