    It’s absolutely fine for most normal users, the exception being people that need to run proprietary software that only runs on windows

      That’s a significant portion of people. Anyone using an Adobe product, playing half of the top 10 games on steam or using any proprietary hardware is basically locked out.

        “Using any proprietary hardware”

        Yeah, wrong. Free drivers have been written for most hardware. Maybe except the absolute newest because we haven’t had enough time. But if you’re buying the latest and greatest hardware every time it comes out, you really ought to be looking at the waste you are producing.

          I’m using a near 8 year old audio interface that still can’t support Linux. Plenty of hardware doesn’t support it. Community support never covers every use case.

            I said most.

            You said any proprietary hardware is unsupported. Which is flat out wrong.
