I just mention it when it's appropriate and give a list of its drawbacks and benefits, according to specific use case. For home users I just say that Linux Mint or Zorin OS are fine and even better that Windows for this scenario, but I must be honest and also say that something like ChromeOS might be even better if an user spends their whole time in a web browser. For professional usage (except coding lol) I never recommend or even mention Linux for variety of reasons. permalink fedilink source parent
