    Linux is good for servers, media centre, casual browsing and watching youtube. If it was more widely supported by most software companies like Photoshop, AutoCad etc, would convert all of my machines to different distros. And nope, I am not scared to use Terminal, pretty familiar with Backtrack years ago, Kali as well. Currently I have 7/24 hosting with 5 websites in my house, done and maintained by myself.

    I had a similar experience with Windows 10.

Doesn't matter that much as Wayland Plasma 6 was not fully useable with my Nvidia card. Tried Manjaro before I tested Tumbleweed, it felt like the whole system was against me, I couldn't get things to work with the terminal and packages. Also needed the AUR for the GPU driver and maybe something else that I don't remember, but not fun to need something that will make.my system less stable and possibly brake it. They don't recommend users to use the AUR, still, it's there for a reason.

      I've played around with Tiny11 before, and its not bad. I would have to install it to say for sure on preformance. My only real issue with Tiny11 is it does strip out alot of things from the OS including security features just so you're aware. And because of how MS does thing the OS will naturally re-bloat overtime since windows is now "self healing" back to the OOB state.
