Well it's not a very compelling sales pitch to tell me to ditch the multiple thousands of dollars of hardware and just buy new stuff. If the goal is to get people to switch to Linux from Windows, I hope you're not the one leading the charge.
Even among that I've varied. In one installation I have Windows sharing a drive, separate partition for Linux. In another computer they're on completely different drives.
I've tested out Manjaro, KDE Neon, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian, Mint, and Fedora - across two desktops and a laptop.
Problems have been all over the spectrum. Not being to install at all, trouble getting it to dual boot after installing (despite following a guide), getting NAS drives to be writeable, hardware compatibility, finding alternatives to proprietary software which may or may not do everything the original did, and more.
I'm semi enjoying the tinkering for now, and I'm not regretting trying to de-Windows as much as possible, but I think people who say Linux is ready for mainstream are out of touch with the average person's computer literacy.
I wasn't trying to argue either of them being "better". I just presented kings vs serfs as an example of obvious wealth disparity in history, but I could have equally said roman emperor and roman slave, of which the difference in wealth would be, well, infinite really.
Van Gogh was never really financially successful during his lifetime. It shouldn't really be up to us to decide if it's good or bad for all time. I agree that art should be preserved. But, I'm also a data hoarder lol
History of the world, tbh. First it was hundredaires, then thousandaires, then millionaires, now billionaires. Eventually it will be trillionaires, and so on.
Most of these are just opposite expressions.
