I used Mint Xfce for 3 months straight earlier this year and was able to do my freelance art job just fine. Main problems were random crashes when playing video/opening images (integrated AMD GPU on a new-ish minipc, driver issue?), inability to set scroll length without terminal knowledge, OS hanging easily if you run out of RAM, and also Krita having pretty shitty performance when doing layer transforms. Hopefully things will be way be better in Mint 22. Speaking of which, Krita 5.2 just released so I'm gonna try that and see if performance has gotten better.

I hope it would be because the kernel has better drivers for the GPU in my minipc then. And if it doesn't I'll just switch computers to one with another GPU and keep on trucking.

I skip versions of things because it is cheaper to do so. I update when features matter to me or when support is removed and I need the support.

The basic logic of capitalism is something most people don't understand, and that's why companies can exploit its shittier elements and that's why people complain about capitalism, which leads to more idiots not understanding the basic logic of capitalism.

Fucking retard. If you pay for a subscription, what is their economic incentive to bring new features? They've already got a constant stream of income from you. They don't need to fight for your money anymore when you pay for a subscription that doesn't require a subscription based payment like software. They make you think its cheaper. But in the long run, you pay more for less.

Linux has been usable by even retards for ten years. Before that even it was a viable replacement if you were patient and knew what you were doing.

Linux is not usable by retards. When I needed to get WoW playable on Linux I had to tinker with terminal. Retards cannot tinker with terminal. Had it been one click install and automatically knowing what configuration to work then it would be usable by retards.
My boot partition is also too small. The drive is encrypted and I cannot resize it for some reason. Every now and then I need to clean out the boot folder for old files manually to upgrade the kernel. A retard would not know what to do when that dreaded not enough space error comes. They need it to ask " would you like to automatically delete unused boot files " and it should do that. Even better, it should know there isn’t enough space before downloading, trying, failing, discarding, and then have to delete and redownload again.
This is a very minor issue to me, however I used the default partition size and as the kernel slowly grew over the years it now needs to be bigger and that is a problem for me.

Some dumb clickbait article isn't a "rumor" , windows 10 already has subscription based SKUs they are used for Microsoft365 E3 and E5. Microsoft makes too much off data collection thats why windows10 was a "free" upgrade for 7 users and win11 is also "free". They aren't going to change their model back to actually making an OS you want to buy because its a good OS, they will keep giving free updates to windows and collect your data forever.

Linux desktop is a fucking joke. Every distro is a horrible experience. Gnome is made for braindead nigger retards and lacks basic functionality because it might confuse niggers while KDE is sperglord central and you end up a desktop that contains both types of apps. Even getting sound working is a pain in the ass, or you run into broken random ass hardware that some woke leftist piece of shit decided to use crappy open source unfunctional drivers because of ideological reasons. "Yeah this driver hard locks every 15 minutes due to a 7 year old bug and can't use 90% of your hardwares features but its FREE AS IN SPEEECH"
There is no Linux desktop that says "fuck braindead nigger monkeys, fuck ideological commies, let's make something that actually works out of the box even if it uses proprietary drivers/software". Nope they are all ideologically driven, and mostly by troons.
