I'd actually recommend Windows to people I know would keep asking me support questions, so I can say sorry, I use Linux, you'll have to ask someone else.
The only time I would've recommended Windows was around 2019 when it was clear they were making a lot of developer focused features, it felt like they were trying to win back the market share they'd lost to Macs. But no way would I recommend it now. Even then it was more of a "give it a second look" sort of thing for folks who'd sworn off of it.
I use Mint, by the way :3
This is interesting because Iβve been having conversations about what operating system I recommend for the last 20+ years.
(slappy uses arch, btw)

Should have stated "no normal people"
Nerds don't fall in that category when talking about OSes.

Ever since I bought my steam deck, I've had an uncomfortable urge to end every sentence with "by the way", I feel like I'm missing pare of my sentence, It hurts my soul... like I'm missing my Arch on my feet. I can't explain it, I know it's not my shoes, my insoles are custom I use Arch By the way.
It's like an existential crisis, like a threat to our very well-being. Like, of course I'm gonna mention Linux.
