…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

    I use Linux Mint Cinnamon, which is the main full-featured flavor that basically looks like the win10 desktop at first startup.

    It runs like greased lightning compared with Windows on the same machine, or any windows install I’ve used recently.

    That was one of my favorite things about switching to FOSS in general. It is made by people who care about it being good at it’s purpose, and probably use it themselves. Compare that to commercial software, where the list of stakeholders in major decisions is a mile long, and the primary stakeholders that everybody wants to please (shareholders) are often not associated in any way with the creation or the use of the program.
