I've been giving Linux a chance every few years since the 90s. Last year I got a new Framework and decided to try again. I tried Fedora and Pop and I can say I'm here to stay. It's Pop's version of Gnome with the tiling manager that I love. Windows has nothing close to it.

I do a decent amount of work in pdfs and I'm surprised that's not good for you. If you're willing to pay for some software there are some really good options. I was using Acrobat before and I am more than happy now, not just because I'm no longer paying $15/mo.

I haven't had a hardware problem on Linux in a while. When was the last time you tried to install it? If you have modern hardware you might be pleased with that part of the experience now.

There are for sure studies on this. I remember seeing one from Seattle specifically, but others as well.

Speeding up and slowing down causes an accordian effect that results in slower speeds for everyone. The time it takes to reduce speed or stop, then recover to a higher speed is higher than just cruising at a middle speed.
