This week’s Weekly discussion thread will be focused on Linux. I know that Lemmy is VERY biased towards Linux and FOSS, but I’m curious what non-technical people feel about it and what your thoughts are.

Some starters:

  • Have you used Linux? If so, what was your experience like?
  • Would you run it as your primary system? Why or why not?
  • What would it take to get you to do so?
  • Do you feel it’s a solid option?
  • Are there any changes that you’d think would benefit consumers and aid with adoption?

    I’m coming up on my one-year anniversary of using it full-time. I’ve dabbled since 2008-ish but I always ran into problems that drove me back to Windows. It’s very usable nowadays, so long as you don’t absolutely need specific apps that don’t work on it (or don’t want to use them in a VM).
