I have a question for you, asking in good faith. đ
What (perfectly valid) reasons are there *not* to run #linux on the primary laptop/desktop in 2024?
Excluding all of these, which are also valid:
* Specific games don't run
* Windows applications required
* Missing hardware driver
* It's someone else's computer
* Steep learning curve
* Don't like it
* Never heard of it
* Lack of technical support nearby
* Bad previous experience
* Prefer Apple hardware
Interested in other reasons.
