The Linux community is united! (Unless you mention Rust, or Wayland, or systemd, or Snap, or GNOME, or...)
Rust as well? In what way? (Genuinely interested, just don't know much about that community)
There's an ongoing ~~debate~~ tantrum about introducing Rust code to the kernel. Some people are pushing for it, some people have made it their life's purpose to make sure that doesn't happen, it has led to a wave of maintainers resigning, and Linus is sitting with his thumb up his arse when his leadership is needed.
Interesting, thank you for explaining!
GNOME>KDE
I used to prefer Gnome for the longest time. It seemed to be lighter on resources and cleaner. I tried KDE again a few years ago and was blown away at how much better it has gotten. KDE has quickly become my go to. The ease of customization, theming, and the wealth of settings sold me on it.
I ought to go back and try Gnome again since it's been a few years. I'm sure they've gotten better too since I last used them.

Wait until someone starts complaining about bad GUI...
I honestly hated idea of linux for soooo long. Ew. Like ew. Doesn't work, borks, needs command line, wtf is that steaming pile of...yeah. Ew.
But insert the goddamn bird with cracker meme after I tried Nobara last year (tried some other distros too). When Windows 10 loses support, I am pretty confident that Nobara will fill most of my needs.
And, well, have some IT experience, with linux too, so occasional terminal isn't that bad. I was simply afraid of constantly having to work in terminal.
I use CLI a lot because I find it much more convenient, so I'm genuinely curious where do you actually still need it in a modern distro as a standard user?
It's not that you neeeed it for most basic stuff, but if you search how to do something the results are more commonly terminal commands.
Which is honestly a good thing, it's so much better than instructions that are like click here -> drag to the left -> open a three level deep menu -> check the box -> reopen that menu -> click go. Or even worse, instructions that are a video
Well, the thing is, you almost don't. But like the other commenter said, most instructions are for terminal when something happens and from my - fairly limited as of now - experience, terminal is still key to linux configuration.
What was mostly generating the Ew response was the fact that linux isn't really known for being newbie friendly. Then getting hit with headless debian during studies also didn't exactly change what I thought.
Yeah a lot of people will hear a very basic rundown of Linux from someone who has a bad experience with it (they installed it without reading anything) and they hate on it for life never looking into how things have improved.
A LOT of people in that crowd don't even know about Valve proton and how well that works.
As a relatively recent Windows refugee, I want to share a recent success that has made me feel fully confident in never needing Windows again and fully feeling the Linux superiority.
I got Cyberpunk with all my previous mods running.
Maybe not a big deal for most people, but this was one thing that had kept me holding onto dual boot on my main device. Conversations online also kept making modding on Linux seem so impenetrable.
Then I decided to spend an afternoon figuring out modding games in general on Linux, and yeah parts of it was tough for me to figure out, but now I'm confident that anything I used to do on PC, I can probably do better on Linux.
I am ready to take up arms alongside the Weaponized Assault Penguin squad.

Aww man the less awesome WAP

Windows is better... if you need game compatibility, slave in Office or Adobe, have a Nvidia card, wants HDR and or fractional scaling...
Everything else, it's pure unadulterated garbage...
Game compatibility isn't really an issue on Linux anymore thanks to Proton.
Depending on how old and what graphics card you have.
Hint: :q!
