Linux?

[cspan37421]

My only question is why not Fedora or CentOS?

a) because those are distributions with which I'm unfamiliar (I have used Mint and Ubuntu before)
b) because Mint ultimately derives from Debian, as does Raspbian, so there's some consistency in the finer points, such as package management

Seems like we’re going on 20 years now of the year of Linux on the desktop.

I’d imagine WSL on Windows 10 is sufficient for most casual use cases these days.

I always knew I liked you.

You may be right as far as users who just need to do something in Linux, but for those leaving Windows over issues of privacy, security, and control - I'm not sure WSL is going to lure any of those folks back. It looks like another "embrace, extend, extinguish" play to me.

These two cartoons convey my sense of the state of things.
