What distribution?


If you're asking for a recommendation: Ubuntu, Fedora or Elementary. Manjaro is good if you're okay with occasional instability (due to rolling releases).

My experience has been much the same switching from Windows after the past month. The Linux desktop is better.


Please don't throw out statements like "linux is better".

It is better for you, me, and some others in this thread.

But if you make a statement like that you'll get Apple Enthusiasts to try it out just to prove you wrong.

And they will find reasons, because both osx and windows both have areas where they're superior.


Isn't the subjectivity heavily implied in that context? If people take it on face value and try to prove them wrong, it's on them.


>linux is better

But it is! And BSD's are even betterer. 9front and Inferno..pff nearly holy...but if you need applications..well that's another story ;)
