I use Linux because I don't want to futz with all the crap in MacOS and Windows. Takes maybe twenty minutes to install Debian and then I touch pretty much nothing for years, except maybe change apt channel if I want something updated faster.

Everyone I know that is stuck in big corporate OS spend more time than that every week fighting something their masters push on them.

Application install is a terminal command that's trivially easy to learn, there's no e-shop solution with ads and surveillance, and while I use i3wm I think most people would be about as comfortable in XFCE as in the MICROS~1 OS:es of yesteryears. You decide when to upgrade, there are no nagscreens or forced reboots.

At least for the last five years or so I've had no trouble with UEFI, WLAN or sound.
