    Linux distros like Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint and Pop! have been fully capable of replacing Windows for typical work and home uses for several years.

    Even gaming is very close to being on-par now.

    There are still niches dependent on Windows, like specialized engineering software or anyone that simply refuses to use anything other than Adobe products.

      Yup, I totally have been making the switch to Open-Source software or browser-based software (like Photopea) for the past few years to ensure I’d be able to easily make the switch when windows finally pisses me off enough. But I think I’m already at that stage - every major windows-10 update seems to break more and more features on my computer lol

        Okay, but like, are you SURE you wouldn’t prefer to open PDFs with Microsoft Edge? I’ll ask you again next time, just in case you change your mind!

          I’m pretty sure you meant to actually select Edge, so I’ll go ahead and switch that to your default so we don’t need to bother you again next time. You’re welcome!
