for a long time i had a lot of windows machines and linux machines, but as of late ive fully committed to linux. i started doing linux back in like 2002 or something, and i mostly liked it for keeping old machines working on low specs and while remaining fairly secure (i wasnt the richest kid growing up so i was constantly trying to squeeze juice out of everything i had available). i still use old 2003 hardware for simple tasks like displaying pdfs for cooking in my kitchen.

these days, it can more than handle being a daily driver, i think that started around 3-5 years ago. there are no issues in the vast majority of applications and games, open source has caught up to many closed source applications in many contexts, and proton is so absurdly good at what it does now. the only thing it lacks are games that rely on excessive kernel level anticheat, which frankly you shouldnt play ever for security reasons. and soon enough, through lepton itll be able to run android apps as natively as possible, which will make it fundamentally the most versatile desktop operating system.
