I use Lubuntu on older computers and Zorin on newer ones . I find no difference between Linux and Windows ,but updating Linux is a million times easer ,when Linux updates ,it updates All software installed and Windows just updates itself ,it’s up to you to update all your software

I love it on my laptop.

The Office apps are close to Windows but not exact. But good enough when you consider that they are FREE.

No app for Netflix yet. So that means Apple or Windows if you want to use Netflix.

The biggest shortcoming of Linux as far as I am concerned is the lack of iTunes or an iTunes clone as a software interface to synchronize an iPhone connected to a Linux computer. Yes, I can offload snapshots from the iPhone camera, but that is about it. I have read that iTunes will not work running in Wine, either.

I would also like to see a professional video editor for Linux. OpenShot seems nice as a beginner’s video editor, but it is not that sophisticated.

Another poster mentioned Quicken - has anyone tried running Quicken in Wine or some emulator?

Spoken like a true geek, more interested in tinkering than getting work done.
