2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

The only year when it peaked. Too bad it didn't catch up to today's standards.
What are you smoking? Linux is better in literally every way.
Oh yeah? Explain why I can't run league of legends, valorant, Fortnite, R6 siege, PUBG, faceit csgo, destiny 2, fiveM and hundreds more games if Linux is better in literally every way? (your words)
And why did I have trouble setting up wifi and sound drivers? Why did a simple update break my whole PC so much I had to reinstall windows again? Why superusers™ are always disrespectful and condescending? Why are kernel developers so disconnected from reality? Do I really need 999+ distros for every use case?
Maybe, a big MAYBE year 2100 will be the year of the Linux desktop. For now, it's better to just stick with what's been working for the past 30 years.
Oh I'll be stomped for criticism, because I threatened the holy open source. Come on, hack me using your terminal like some 90's kid and prove me wrong. Or don't. I don't care 💅🏿😘
Obviously because those developers are specifically making that impossible. That's not Linux's issue.
Also I've played CSGO and R6 siege on Linux before with no issues.
Also valorant, Fortnite, and Destiny 2 are shit and made by companies that are practically hostile to environments they don't have strict control with.
Why did you have trouble? Maybe because you suck. You don't need to distro hop. Most of us do that for fun.
The real fact of the matter here is that you're here to be a troll.
