Honestly it’s all about usage. Fought a lot with PopOS and Mint recently, learned nothing. Partner handed me a laptop with Windows 11 asking about a “grinding sound” and I cleaned out the fan checked everything in the OS and it was all fine. 11 ran like butter on that cheap laptop. I get that people bitch about Windows, but for the most part it is bullshit bitching. 11 ran laps around Mint and Pop during my use of it. PopOS is still loading its PopStore or what not and Mints Cinnamon is running updates for days while 11 finished it’s tasks yesterday. I love Linux and all, but this thing that Windows in inoperable is just dumb. They put ads and shit, it sucks. But the os runs really fucking well for so many people, that they don’t find a reason to switch.
