I’m half expecting the win to be them sending like a teenager to jail for copying a ROM of a game that isn’t sold anymore.

Yes, on these distros that i remember: arch, fedora and mint

Wifi works great on every distro I tried

Lit lit lit

I tried Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE and gnome. The only one that I can’t recall having any issues with is Gnome.

In my experience, a stable beginner friendly distro such as mint, is 10x closer to “just working” but…

I do think that the windos DE tends to be more reliable than any linux DE I have tested. The only DE that compares is gnome, which I find very very stable (but I hate it)

I think that non-technical people are just used to a simple playbook of:

1. GUI is rarely the issue, so you never need to see the terminal.
2. If there is an issue, restart
3. If that didn’t work, ask for help from your local techy

And for linux step 3 usually doesn’t work because your local techy is probably someone who just knows how to google and paste into cmd.
