It’s a really strong UX that’s rapidly improving without a profit motive and people are excited about it.

Closest thing to the “it just works” experience that Mac was always known for and it runs great on older hardware. Even goes so far as to optimize the install time down to about 1 minute.

I was running i3 when an Ubuntu update borked my entire setup so I made the switch. The difference is night and day in the level of polish.

Small example, running Zoom on i3 caused a tile cascade every time I turned on my Bluetooth headset because Zoom bypassed the main notification system. Issue resolved here.

One of many little quirks that no longer happen.

It’s nice to see excitement around Linux because nothing from the big names was really creating it.
