2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

I think the problem with this is that the corpos will just keep pushing out updates that barely change anything and call the device "supported"

There is sure to be some of that, but they will at least get the blame for when it goes poorly.

They are obligated by many of their corporate and government clients to patch any security flaws and fix bugs.

I would prefer that they don't touch what is working and just focus on fixing bugs and security issues.

This moving feature set and release of half finished software approach is why people have hated windows so much since the windows 8 days.
