I always giggle at these lists. Cause they always start off saying “regular folks should use Linux” and then list all these super dweeby things you can do with Linux and regular folks wouldn’t know how to want to do them. These articles probably do more to keep regular folks away from Linux than anything else. Cause regular folks look at lists like this and they get scared, what they see it “I could totally screw up my computer by doing something I don’t understand”. If you want normies using your OS explain how they can get on the internet checking email and playing solitaire in under 20 minutes. That’s what they want.
Seriously is this list a joke?
I mean 1 and 2 are just plain silly to even mention. There is no need to test a windows distro. Windows doesn’t have various distros. Unless you want to talk about release candidate beta software, which that’s apples to oranges.
#3 is legit.
#4 is legit for those that can do it and for those that can they already know this.
#5 this is a lie. Linux gets more viruses than Windows.
#6 Not always the case with Windows either, but it does occur more often with windows. But it’s a desktop environment we are talking about here, so it’s not that big of a deal. This is a bigger issue in server environments where downtime = money.
#7 Run an older version of windows to keep your old PC going. Nothing is forcing you to upgrade ATM. Yes eventually when the hardware is obsolete and you need some specific function you can do that, but with the cost of hardware being pretty cheap and energy costs rising. By the time it’s obsolete it will probably be cheaper to buy something specific for that purpose.
#8 Maybe. But good luck if you’re not a developer.
#9 Ok this is a joke list.
#10 Windows has other shells you can use. Just not many people do it.
Lost me already. WTH is a Distro? Why do I need to test one?
