I refuse to call it a store. I can't walk into it and pick up a box from the shelf with physical install media. It's a software repository with paywalls.
I have a weird situation. I was a Windows user from 3.x to 10. I genuinely like Win9x, XP, and a lot of 7. I switched to Linux as my main machine with Mint because Cinnamon works like Windows. The only hassle I have is external display issues (X11 displayport stuff) - so I'm not looking at Cachy or KDE Neon or anything like that. But my gaming PC is Win11. It all works. Getting back to Windows, while there's some challenges, everything feels "right" again. 7-Zip, Notepad++, various games, it's all natural. I have trouble running arbitrary software on Mint, but Windows just runs every exe I throw at it. It works with my trackball and external display painlessly.
Basically, they both work.
Also, I disagree with the article author about the email client in the OS. I think that's bloatware and the results of Microsoft being monopolistic. Webmail works fine. If you want an email client locally, it's your choice. Then again I'd love to see what he says is better than Outlook - because it isn't Thunderbird.
Fair enough. I meant that the Faygo company isn't as deep in the ax-wielders as Timbs are in the rap community. They produce their full range still & sometimes make new flavors.
My old laptop works well on Windows 10. Mint does about 99% of that and other stuff I don't do in Windows. The only thing that I miss is a multi monitor setup (and I've been told that CachyOS or KDE Neon would do it).
I think Little Caesars is a different category of takeout pizza. It's hot - and it's ready. And it supports a company with a business model and mindset that are more than just decent.
