    Like what? Genuinely asking as a Windows user with a few Linux machines.

      File extensions, wanting a GUI for everything, running some random threat detection software, assuming that Linux is lightweight so therefore it will make old machines have modern performance… The list goes on

        Wanting GUI for everything is a bad habit?

        That is just regular consumer needs.

        Well, at least for me…

        Yeah, I do like me some file extensions.

        I want a GUI for some things, but I’m perfectly comfortable with SSH into a machine as well. My general purpose server has a DE on it. My second server has a specific use and has no DE, nor do my IOT devices. All of them are headless.

        I have an older laptop with Arch (btw) on it. It runs well for what I use it for. I understand I’m not watching YouTube in 4K though. The CPU and GPU have their limits.
