I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

Im happy to see that even PC Gamer is seeing why Linux is a good choice.

    Let’s not exaggerate like that. A lot of pcs are used by university students/professors, researchers, office work, engineers, software devs, audiovisual production, designers, hobbyists from many areas, etc. And linux has been gaining space in all those areas.

      Professional use is a whole different story, and I left it out because the message was getting a bit too long. 😃

      If your work relies on a specific piece of Windows software, Linux probably won’t be good enough. Even if you can use that application through Wine or Proton, work environment usually requires every feature to work perfectly. If it’s something that can run on a browser, you have options. Many people just need basic office applications, and in that context, Linux has been a viable option for many years already.
