I have used Linux briefly. I get how Linux Mint works. But I will always favor Windows 11 and higher for two reasons. Linux Mint has an awful red shift to use at night. The Windows 11 and 10 red shift (aka low blue light) works and so does the f.lux program which does the same. #2 There are Windows programs to download off YouTube and other similar video sites. With the option to download just the audio into MP3 form. Or the whole video. Linus does not have this. If they do, it will be impossible for me to figure out how to install.

I have tried every major and many minor Linux distros, but none of your issues were any for me, nor would be. I actually refrain downloading You Tube vids or audio if the license does not allow it (unless the author allows it), as well as using certain multimedia codecs in Linux if they are not licensed for it, though that is a confusing issue, and can apply to Windows as well, but it is not as big an issues in scope as it was before, since some multimedia patents have expired.

My reasons are that the time it would take to learn to make a Linux distro as customized as I can rather easily do in Windows is no warranted. I use W/11 Pro which flowed from an $29 (with rebate) upgrade from XP being on the retail channel years ago, thus allowing legal transference to a new PC, thank God

How about low blue light at night? I use this all the time on Windows 11. Apple has similar for its phones and computers.

Linus is lacking in this. Lacking a red-shift AKA low blue light setting. My i5 desktop’s LED monitor is on the low blue light setting all the time.
