I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

    What’s the tiny laptop? I’d love to have one, especially if that’s available as a cheap useless piece of electronics I can slap Linux into.

        Oh, thank you! The link is very detailed. I’ll try to hunt one down. I like to try this for text editing.

    It’s funny to frame it as bravery. Maybe that’s clickbait strategy. Regardless desktop Linux is great. Only a handful of kernel level anticheat games are a problem. No you don’t need adobe suite for your YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok influencer aspirations. Even open source applications that don’t stack up to Adobe or Avid or whatever exceed what’s needed to succeed in social media. More than enough for what amounts to solo projects
