I stand by my opinion that Linux is the best for academic work, and I'm specifically talking about humanities here, not the usual suspects (like computer science or maths).
It's just so quiet and good for productivity, no ads, no forced apps, it's free, and you can customise it to your heart's content to create the workflow that best suits you.
#Linux is best for any kind of work. And it's our only defense against the ever progressing #enshittification.
It's a term that describes that all large commercial internet properties are getting increasingly shitty as their owners try to squeeze every last drop off revenue out of them.
@ninokadic @Yeekasoose “enshittification” is a neologism coined by Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) to describe how platforms become terrible over time.
Doctorow’s description: https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/
“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.”
