Linux is clearly inferior to Linux. Have you tried Linux? It beats Linux in every single dimension!
Honestly, it has been working perfectly fine to me for a couple of decades. With games and everything. But that's not the same Linux that everybody uses. Each person that installs it lives in a different universe from everybody else.
But anyway, if we could just stop the Ubuntu propaganda and avoid people starting with that piece of shit, a lot of the problems would disappear.
It runs just fine even after a couple of version updates. And even if it comes to the worst, reinstalling just takes a few minutes. Mint is great if you don't like to tinker too much and just want stuff to run out of the box.
Yeah I recommend mint nowdays. Ironically I use it myself as my gaming distro cos QubesOS doesn't do graphics acceleration in qubes unless u got an entire GPU to pass through.
