Idk, I installed fedora 40 some time ago, and many things were broken out of the box. In that regard windows seems a bit more friendly to a new user

But they layer so many unwanted services and bloatware on top that it makes it hard to use. Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much

as a person who has it installed and has an OLED monitor, am not pictured. Of the few things why I haven't bothered connecting my laptop to my monitor ever yet, though it happened recently for KDE plasma

My personal grievances are using a laptop with ubuntu. No wireless casting of display to tv, no good smart phone as a mouse/keyboard control, the screen is sometimes sideways for no reason.

But Linux and stuff is interesting still. I'm just not ready for it as a daily driver.

What I want from an OS:

Free, or a one time fee

Tells the date and time

Has a folder system that is indexed and easily searched.

Supports Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and Steam.

That's it. Genuinely cannot think of any reason I would ever want my computer OS to do anything more than that.

I use windows on one of my computers just in case some friend wants to play some invasive anti-cheat game...

Not all games with anti cheat work on Linux.

I need CAD software, but I don't think AutoCAD runs on Linux.

I'm not watching movies in Linux, I don't really care about HDR, but I've had nothing but horrible experiences out of video editing products in Linux. If it's not a skin for FFmpeg, My project has about a 10% chance of making it through to usable output.
