        I think I need to give Linex a try again. I tried ubuntu in 2008 but found it too difficult to do the things I was used to doing on windows. I now have a bit more coding experience and will probably pick it up quicker

          It’s gotten so much better since 2008. Ubuntu is good for servers, but probably not what you’re looking for on a desktop. And you really don’t need to have a coding background to use it, though it also depends on your use case.

              Probably still is, lol.

              Apple stuff works best in the Apple ecosystem, though most of what works on Windows can work on linux.

          You don’t have to pick and choose, you can dual boot.

          But the only thing I boot Windows for these days is gaming and Microsoft Teams. Linux has come a long way since 2008.

          Any that needs a lot of VRAM and good CPU performance on a budget, but not necessarily the real time performance of a W7900 or whatever.

      Love the downvotes for saying something that is in the article! Feels just like reddit!
