    Anyone can buy a computer that comes with Linux or a computer known to work well with Linux and have the same experience

      My experience is installing the OS on any given PC or laptop. Of course a purpose-built machine, with the OS pre-tweaked, will rock out! No question!

      But take any given machine, throw Win11 or a Linux ISO (take your pick) on there, you’re fucking about with Linux far more than Windows.

      It’s not hard for people like us, or we wouldn’t be having this conversation in this forum. But “normal” people are going to struggle with getting Linux setup. And keep in mind, Linux is totally alien to people who have always used Windows.
