I have finally moved over to Linux as my primary platform. In many ways it is like coming home, as I loved working on UNIX machines in the past. Of course, I have been using Linux as a secondary OS for a long time, but I finally made the switch. Microsoft cancelling Windows 10 and the direction Windows 11 is going was just too much for me.

@ruario helped the transition, by making it easy for me to work with multiple concurrent @Vivaldi installs.
That is a must for me as I test a lot of builds at the same time.

@jon @ruario @Vivaldi I love the MacOS, but frankly even so, mostly it's a thin layer of operating system and I almost always am using one form of web app or another for 90 percent of my work. Might try reforming an old laptop to some version of LinuxOS just to experiment. What desktop environment did you use?

@tchambers @jon @ruario @Vivaldi Hey Tim, I know you asked @ruario for his choice, but I thought I might offer some input.

For users that are most familiar with MacOS the choice is generally KDE. It's more easily setup in a manner that is familiar to Mac users. It has also made the transition from X.org to Wayland -- which is a more secure windowing severing than X. (Although I don't see most of the security concerns as all that significant.)
