What do you do with them?
Two systems run my radio station automation. One is primary and one is standby. The automation software (RadioDJ) runs on Windows 7 in VMWare on the Debian Linux host. RadioDJ uses a MySQL database that is running on a Raspberry Pi4 with Raspberry Pi OS (Debian-based) and MariaDB. One of my laptops I write on has Linux Mint.

I tried using Linux well over a decade ago. Dual boot. I’m not very technically minded, and the learning curve for Linux was much steeper than the one for Windows . I’m sure there are decent, helpful, Linux users. Unfortunately I sought help and met the complete opposite to that. That put me off . I wasn’t willing to risk further such treatment .
For the little time I did use it it was OK.

I use linux (ubuntu) exclusively on my desktop pc i prefer it to windows. Im not a big gamer though, most games wont work on linux. I like it, its much more secure than Windows and updates are a lot faster… plus its free.

Linux users are usually smart, deeply technical folk who focus on extreme device & network security. Very biased against windows or mac os, very against paid-for software, backers of open-source projects and possibly virgin or regretting their virgin youth. Set in their ways. With few exceptions, they expect you to understand advanced linux jargon right off the bat.
Edit: see the post above lol

It was the ‘you must be an idiot if you want help with x’ attitude that I found to be abhorrent and presumptuous. Not being a technical whizz kid doesn’t make a person dumb/stupid . Indeed someone thinking so wouldn’t be anywhere near the sharpest knife in the box themself.

I tried linux even used it. Only Fedora and Ubuntu. Mainly Fedora.
I wasn’t an enthusiast but had working knowledge or enough to get by for personal use.
Forums can be bad and people can be rude and elitists. I tried self learning and never did a course on it.

Not really. I couldn’t get a job, but I can figure stuff out especially with google lol. I haven’t done it in years and struggle remembering the stuff.
I use windows now. I was thinking about getting a mac, but windows is best for video games. I’m poor anyways.
