I run Mint on my main PC. The final push was the near daily prodding to subscribe to 365 or use OneDrive or some shit. It's annoying at best and coercive at worst when the system changes my settings without permission.
For the trouble I've had on Linux, it's far less annoying, and it keeps getting better while Windows seems hell bent on getting worse. Thanks to Steam Deck all my games work with minimal tweaking. Works hard. Plays hard. Isn't annoying. It's hard not to love when it feels like it's my computer again.
This October will mark my 30th year on Linux (got started with Red Hat 0.9 aka Halloween). I've always been able to say that Linux "works hard" but it took nearly thirty years for me to comfortably be able to say that Linux "plays hard".
