I got a Linux laptop about 6 months ago.
Linux leaves a lot to be desired. It is still in the 1980s, but the GUI programs are similar to Windows. I still cannot get videos such as FoxSportsGo, ESPN, etc., to run and I have tried every browser that will load on Linux.
For basic websurfing, email, general wordprocessing, etc., Linux is okay.
I am slowing learing the ‘under the hood’ stuff. I bought several Linux books last week, as most of the Youtube instruction videos are horribly bad.
I just hope my Win7 laptop and desktop hold on. But I think Microsoft will force it out eventually. XP just did not have the power to handle heavy web graphics and video, and that forced me to move to Win7. I briefly tried out Win10 and did not like it.
I did read a comment recently from a Win10 expert who admitted Win10 was primarily designed for tablets and touchscreens and not ‘real’ computing.
“I did read a comment recently from a Win10 expert who admitted Win10 was primarily designed for tablets and touchscreens and not ‘real’ computing.”
Whoever wrote the comment you read is woefully incorrect.
I work in pro audio. While I prefer OS X I have worked on projects using Windows 10 & it works just fine. Studio’s all over the world use Windows 10.
