[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 799392"] Linux has tremendous bugs, incompatibilities and driver issues.. Linux rarely supports the newest, fastest hardware much less exploits it's strengths. There are significant downsides to Linux because of that and it can take a lot of work to get it working correctly. My NVME cluster won't even work on Linux because Linux has no driver to address it. For example, try installing Linux of a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist and you'll cry.. Oh, this bios is needed, but if you rolled up past X bios, then you can't roll back to Y bios which Linux needs. But if you are on Y Bios, you still need to do this, do that, Bash this, Bash that, and sometimes though, depending on the version of your motherboard, it may not work. If your NIC serial ends in 5 wireless won't work. It's all a disaster to be honest and Linux for the most part will never gain wide acceptance across any market. (and why it's marketshare hasn't really changed in decades) Linux works best under a customized environment, embedded systems, or for older hardware. Get Mom and Pop a specific refurbished computer or laptop, verified to run under Linux. Install Ubuntu on it and send them out your door and you'll have a little peace of mind, until it breaks... Get them a Chromebook and you can be sure you won't hear from them again. [/QUOTE]
