I have a question for you, asking in good faith. 🙏

What (perfectly valid) reasons are there *not* to run #linux on the primary laptop/desktop in 2024?

Excluding all of these, which are also valid:

* Specific games don't run

* Windows applications required

* Missing hardware driver

* It's someone else's computer

* Steep learning curve

* Don't like it

* Never heard of it

* Lack of technical support nearby

* Bad previous experience

* Prefer Apple hardware

Interested in other reasons.

Adobe suite.

Agreed especially for people who are totally reliant on it for work and don't have time to learn a new set of tools.

There is no good reason to not run #Linux Mint Cinnamon on your laptop or desktop, none.

You can dual boot it. Install it on a 64 gig USB 3.0 thumb drive. You can download a live DVD or thumb drive to check your hardware for compatibility.

You can run it from a virtual machine like virtualbox. You simply can't go wrong with it. Run #Timeshift religiously..🐧

Linux is ready but the creative apps might not be up to standard for certain professionals.
