Bro. I think you would benefit from sticking to Chrome OS.

    Nice comeback when you get evidence of how a different DE breaks software compatibility.

    It's clear that this is a forum of people that only install Linux to open their terminal and type neofetch.

    Fair, that reply above is not helpful at all. I mean yeah, I have had my fair share of dependence hell as well. Mostly when trying to install an external deb package. I know how to prevent it nowadays but it ainโ€™t user friendly at all.

    Also I would be hesitant to use Linux as a workstation. If I had the luxury of time I would for ideological reasons alone. But I donโ€™t have that kind of time. Troubleshooting can become costly when you get paid by the hour.

    Depends on what you do, most of the deep-learning world and scientific computing is based on Ubuntu. And not just Ubuntu but currently 22.04. Even upgrading the distro can bring compatibility conflicts.

    I have a massive hate boner for development on Windows for things such as the \ in the paths and needing to install a 10gig IDE to do cpp development. Or they tell you WSL "just works" while it doesn't "just work" because it can't cv2.imshow your images because there's no X11 passthrough etc.
