My old ass computer can barely handle windows 10 so I'll be happy to get an excuse to switch to linux

Been running CentOS for 20 years, switched to Fedora 41 this year, later Ubuntu for gaming PC (driving games), and Debian for my son's PC. Never be happier 😁

There will always be some things that can't be done or can't be done easily on one system versus another For example good luck gaming on a Mac, sure some games run fine but uhh .. If you're a hardcore gamer? You're gonna need Windows. Meanwhile Mac's have tools Wintendoes doesn't.

Didn't say you can't, simply that you need Wayland which isn't stable to begin with on mint

That's the only reason I moved away from the otherwise functional Mint. Rolling & semi-rolling distros with Wayland have mostly been stable for me along with the latest Nvidia drivers.

The overall experience of just USING Linux Mint is more aligned with how users experience windows and mac; Not having to pull teeth just to browse the web. What their capabilities are is never going to be in 100% parity.

I just want to go back to windows 7 and not worry about upgrading.

- wait for company IT to tell you how and when to upgrade (incl. HW and VM changes), then scrambling to get your setup running again and be late with your tickets
