I'm not a techy, or a sys admin, or anything.

I never wanted ot think about my OS. I just want to click things and go.

Linux did have headaches when I switched. Some from my lack of knowledge, some from shit in linux just being fuckywucky. but that was many years ago.

I wouldnt say I'm any smarter today, than i was back then.. but I will say Linux is so much better today than it was back then. Its reached the "it just works" stage, even for gaming, in everything I've tried with it. I am back to where I was on windows all those years ago, where I dont even think about my OS. I just click things and go.

I'm not so foolish to say its all sunshine and lollipops, especially with gaming, I'm sure there will always be a problem that crops up that needs a tweak/patch/config change to fix it.. but honestly? Windows had that shit too. which is why I'd say, from a usability aspect, Linux is pretty much at parity with windows at this point.

And thats for gaming and shit.

if you are just a regular PC user where entertainment/email/bills/etc are all done in the webbrowser? Fuck..Linux has been good and ready for that for over a decade. My grandparents PC has run linux for over 15 years now, without nary an issue.
