Nah, I will admit there are quirks, but compared to Windows it was easier to install, easier to manage (Yast2 GUI) and has been much more stable and performant than W10. Even runs Proprietary CAD better than Windows. Webex Teams, MS Teams, Teamviewer, Edge Browser all functioning so that my daily work is same as Windows. The comments about hard to run virtual machines ? wut? dead simple. And windows apps arent needed when you sign into Office 365. Outlook actually runs better via web that local. Just a poorly researched article.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not sure why this is was down-voted.
I don't agree with some points on the list, but if you need propriety software for your job, Linux may not be the easiest choice.
Well who doesn't require some kind of propriety software for their job? The big problem is collaboration and as someone said, if everyone is into a propriety solution and you're on an alternative you're going to have a bad time.
