    We’ve come a long way. Once upon a time, It might’ve said “Linux is only free if you don’t value your time.”

      It depends. I recommend windows when people say they don’t want to put any time into learning a new os.

      Or gaming. While I can game without any issues on Linux i sometimes have to tweak sth. Or have issues that I as a veteran can solve easily. I wouldn’t recommend it to newcomers.

        Only if they’ve used Windows before, otherwise (IMO) Linux would be easier to learn when just starting out.

          …first problem, google it, hello terminal.

          Meanwhile in windows you have GUI guide, if you even meet a problem other than learn to read.

        I guess it’s still true if you want to get that perfect Arch install, but I’d imagine most people still saying that now had a bad experience many years ago and are unaware of how simple and smooth it can be nowadays.

    At first I was like “When I open windows, I let cool air in helping my pc to cool off better, what do you mean it’s less efficient?” Then it hit me, oooh the other windows.
