I have been liking Linux Mint more and more for home computing.

Mostly, I use it to check FR occasionally and to stream videos — primarily sports. There, it has problems. My ISP (COX) apparently does not like/support Linux.

ESPN sports and CBS sports streams work. NBC sports used to work but no longer. Fox and Fox sports work, but Fox sports southwest doesn’t.

COX cable has its own streaming of most cable channels, but that feature will not work on Linux.

Maybe, after Abode Flash finally dies, they — the various content providers — will settle on one delivery method and all will support it.

I still rely on Win7 laptop and desktop for most of my computing. I have a Win10 tablet, but primarily use it only to stream radio and occasional video.

I’ve got Commiecast/xfinity here, so no problems streaming or reception.

Never found anyone locally who uses Linux, so I could try it. My local computer shop doesn’t like it.
