> doing sysadmin job at home is not appealing to me Please tell me this is a joke. You have to have 0 knowledge about Linux Desktop to claim that Linux users are doing a sysadmin's job when they're using their systems. Calling Linux users sysadmin would be equivalent to calling Windows users Microsoft's QA team haha (ngl, they actually are). We love Linux because it gets work done, for free, without hiccups that Windows often introduces, and without being a bloated spyware and adware mess that is modern Windows.

If Linux is so great why can't I even do `dnf install candycrush`? It's already right there on Windows for me!

Keep loving it, I don't mind. Very good it gets work done for you. Just keep telling for yourself. Linux introduces more hiccups for me than Windows. Having something for free is not viable in long term, work and efforts must be paid. Seeing projects without funding is not a good sign from my POV, doesn't let product owners and project managers to have strong base and planning.

    This thread reminds me the threads from 2010s :) I'm pretty happy where Linux desktop is right now. It's popular enough so that big software advertises "Windows, macOS and Linux" support, but not big enough to get the "I've unplugged my mouse and now it doesn't work, how can I fix it" posts in the Internet.

    You probably messing FOSS with something not requiring people to be paid. If I take say RHEL or Ubuntu Pro it still FOSS but it's paid. Not sure where you are getting this fan boy style impressions on I'm against FOSS from.
