That's what I did too. It's not quite the same. But muscle memory doesn't betray me at least.

I've never cared for mint because I don't really want my Linux to look like Windows. Which is what mint does.
Yeah. Part of me is annoyed by snaps. But, tbh, having tried fedora and opensuse over the last few years, I don't quite see how they're so much worse than freaking Flatpaks. And at least they come gods damned fully enabled.
To be fair, my husband is about as far from tech savvy as they come, and he's been running Linux for years on his laptop. Every 2-3 years I upgrade him. Sometimes just within distros (Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04 say. Other times, I've moved him distros (to fedora) or back to Ubuntu. Otherwise? I don't touch his system. He's been happy for years.
Yeah, anti-cheat/multiplayer is the biggest hurdle to go for linux gaming, as well as VR. They're the two things that continue to hold my kids in Windows, for now. I hope that someday they're remedied and I can move them into Linux systems for gaming, but for now, it's just not realistic, sadly.
Yeah. I'm on vacation anyways, with me minimal cell coverage, so it's been pretty easy, but I've popped in a handful of times. but, there's no way I'm installing their client. None. I don't have Facebook, or Twitters clients, I'll be damned if Im installing reddit.
Been running Ubuntu 22.04 for the last several months and have yet to see anything resembling an ad. I guess it prompts me why there's system updates every fe days to a week or so. But I'd hardly call that an 'ad'.
Probably to some degree... But on any other distro, the same is almost certainly true today too. Only it's between... rpm/aur/deb/etc and Flatpaks instead of snap.
I still can't figure out what they're actually doing. My husband was worried that he wasn't going to be able to watch at work. But, so far that hasn't proved to be true. So... Yeah. Idk. We're keeping it for now, and as long as he/we can continue to watch both at home and at work. And, bonus points if my dad can watch at his second house in Asheville (he lives with us half time and there half time, we split sharing of various streaming services...)
Yup. Nearly everyone runs Linux. They just don't know it.
Yeah, being able to run other os is part of what got me on pixels to start with. But, honestly they're just nice phones. Currently have 3 pixel 6as and a pixel 6
This. If you want to go back to the days without systemd and writing invit scripts manually, knock yourselves out. The rest of us will continue to live in the modern world of systemd, pulse audio (and now pipe wire).
