ive slapped mint on so many PCs... people barely know its not windows

most people only use the freakin browser

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Its kinda why chrome os works. Majority of people only need the browser, and if you need basic office suite, google has their own cloud options.

Its when you have specific use cases when you HAVE to use a certain os over another (e.g gaming with anti cheat, AI/ML and engineering software is usually windows foward, adobe stability on OSX. A lot of backend and server applications on linux)
