This article was written around 6 months ago and it seems prescient to reflect on our future OS options/habits as we are currently sorting out our online community clusterfuck/fuck you Spez. I feel like many of us have felt the motivation to branch out into a flavor of Linux OS and have read about the brave who took the step only to come back and say "games don't work" or that you need be a hackerman to run such a setup. Interesting light content to munch on and would love to hear from any brave pioneers who switched and are liking it. Better to start thinking on this now than in a year and change when so many of us will be corralled into the stocks and pushed into Windows 11.

I think these kind of articles ("The [numer] best/reasons [topic/tool] of [year]") have been generated before this years AI boom too.

Just a few weeks ago someone posted a "9 best opensource email clients for linux" on reddit, where 5 of them were not open source, 2 were not available for linux and 3 were pure web based. Great.
