Change a few of the details, and this post could have been written twenty years ago.
The situation in 2020 is different though. What do you gain with XFCE, Gnome, or your favorite window manager, that is not done better in MacOS or Windows? Both of those environments already provide *nix support, and they have much better (understatement) hardware support.
- SifrNihilum 6y agoI'm not entirely sure what hardware support you're missing, but in my experience using Linux works out of the box far more often than Windows. Can't speak for Apple obviously. I can guarantee it won't install and run on my PC without a LOT of work though... But hey. If Windows works for you, then stick to Windows!
