      Business or individuals designing and putting systems and software together with support and stability in mind. Sort of like dell lenovo HP etc were known for. Like system 76 or tuxedo.

      Your hardware will work right out of the box because it was designed to. No frustrated phfaphing about at the command line first thing. Trying to diagnose Wi-Fi weirdness and niche hardware bugs as a complete novice.

      My biggest gripe with videos like this is that they don’t even explore the option. Let alone show it off or promote it. Part of it is the Linux / BSD culture of course it runs on it. Obsessed with the fact that it could more than whether or not it should. combined with the unquestionable fact that Microsoft forcefully and illegally. As in have been found guilty in court of forcing and bullying system integrators to not offer alternatives of any kind. So much so that BSD and Linux have been almost completely the domain of techy and skilled enthusiasts in the know for decades. Who often make far better evangelists than they do tech support. Especially when your median user just want computer go burr.

        Gotcha. I can’t say I have ran into hardware incompatibility issues in the half dozen or so distros I’ve tried kn multiple machines, but I would probably recommend Tuxedo to a non tech person and it’s great that they exist. They’re even a pretty good value.

          I generally don’t have much problem either except for network cards. Network cards can absolutely still throw you for a loop today.
