I'm old, and can't be fucked learning a whole new system. I just want to browse the internet and play my games. The biggest barrier is getting my simracing gear and modded Assetto Corsa working on it.

    Yeah, I completely understand. I bounced off Linux desktop several times and I'm a sysadmin.

    It's only the last few years where there have been rapid and significant improvements to get gaming so it "just works*" and both of the popular desktop environments, KDE (Windows-like) and gnome (Mac-like) have had a heavy focus on fixing all of the little fiddly annoyances that turned people off.

    It's not perfect and it can be annoying, but its dramatically better than it was 5 years ago while Windows keeps moving in the opposite direction.

    I'm not trying to sell you on it really, Linus doesn't pay me commissions. Windows isn't THAT bad and learning a new OS is a big ask.

    I've just been impressed by the state of things and enjoy yapping about it.

    Obligatory "Gnome is NOT Mac-like" comment.

    The Windows people think Gnome is Mac-like. Hah, no it's not! Gnome is its own weird thing.

    KDE can actually get a lot closer to Mac than Gnome can, if you add a top menu bar, rearrange some stuff, and move the titlebar buttons around.

    (We came from Mac land originally, and that's how we have our KDE set up. Mostly.)
