Linux is linux, no matter the distro! It's not by arguing which distro is better that the year of the linux desktop will happen!!!

Dunno. I’m not convinced the “year of Linux desktop” will ever happen. Granted, I now mostly use it for work, so I’m not up to date on the latest, but…..

  1. Common distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, etc have extremely clunky upgrade system
  2. Microsoft Office. I’m sorry, libreoffice will not be a replacement.
  3. I heard this has improved, but Wayland used to be terrible.

Neither of Microsoft Office competitors will be replacement, even WPS.
