I Left Windows 11 for Linux—Here’s the Best Distro to Start With

This flavor of Linux is a breath of fresh air.

MUO

@MsDropbear42 This article is a disaster.

- The battery life on Linux isn't "drastically better". On the contrary, it's basically always way worse with the single exception of specialized hardware like the Steamdeck.
- Proton isn't emulation, it's translation. To say it's emulation makes it look comparably awful.
- While there are many options for professional software usage, there is no equal alternative to Photoshop. GIMP is good for what it is, but its feature set isn't remotely comparable.

@MsDropbear42
- To tell people that Mint Updates won't ever cause something to break is presumptuous at best. They do take great care of course, but as with Windows updates *can* cause issues. Instead of telling lies focus in the upside: it won't force you to do it, or to live with something broken.
- Mint's Software Manager doesn't only allow installation from official sources. Another lie.

I'm all for Linux, but this article is full of shit.
