  • I think setting up linux as a gaming machine is more advanced than most people would be able to handle right now, but I was referring more to just general computer usage. I was able to install PopOS on a 13 year old MacBook the other day and the most difficult part was getting the iso setup as a bootable USB drive - and even that wasn’t too hard. Although, to be fair, I think anyone who has problems doing an install of linux would also have a problem doing an install of Windows.


  • I’ve been an IT professional for nearly 30 years and it seems like every new version of Windows they do everything they can to make me feel like an idiot who has never used a computer before. Simple things like turning off the computer isn’t intuitive. I only use Windows at work now, my personal computers are all either linux or MacOS… and I just installed linux on my old 2012 Macbook and ‘it just (mostly) works’.
