    Me too. I think Linux still has way too many usability issues for it to be mainstream right now, as well.

        I didn’t say Linux isn’t better, I just said it’s definitely not easy enough for the average person.

        But either way, it being a better daily driver is specific to your workflow. What about gaming? Audio production work? Livestreaming? Office work with the standard applications? Nah, Windows is better for those at least because of the software availability. Be nuanced.

          I do all of these things in Linux and enjoy it more. Doom Eternal runs better for me than it did in Windows lol

          I’m a bit suprised, because those are all things that work incredibly good. What really sucks from my experience is video editing, mechanical CAD and VR games.

              some

              use standard apps like Microsoft Excel

              How is that a “standard app”? There are hundreds of office suits, hundreds of databases and thousands of general purpose numerical computation programs used by professionals. This is just parroting Microsoft propaganda.

              use a DAW besides bitwig, ardour, audacity.

              Except Zrythm, LMMS, Reaper, Tracktion, ReNoise, Radium, Waveform, Mixbus (which is Ardour I guess) and a ton of interactive music programming systems.

              GoXLR and Elgato aren’t supported yet

              Both aren’t alone in their field. GoXLR is even only unsupported because of the incompetence of the manufacturer, had they used standard protocols not only would they work on Linux but also MacOS, Android and iOS. Older Elgato cards worked, but newer don’t seem to, but there is enough competition that does.
