Have you seen the windshield wiper being used yet? It looks like something out of a crappy ‘art’ film.

Do you need the space? If not who cares.
Personally I run a media service for friends and family. I’m about to bring another 100tb online because we are running low on storage. Am I holding or just running a rack of servers in my basement?
Steal away. An old boss knew the person who maintains that page. If I remember correctly it’s entire reason for being is for that one question.
When in doubt I ask them what RAID 45 is.
I’ll be honest, unless you have been using Linux for…a long time, of your job requires you to manage servers, your probably not that last category.
If you enrolled in the windows insider/test doohickey then you might want look into the rolling release distros. If not, something with a standard release cadence will be better.
I my self? All of the servers I manage have no desktop environment (core infrastructure does not need graphics). But if I am on a workstation? LMDE - Because I care about the graphics getting out of my way so I can do my job.
Linux users fall into three categories. People who want stability over everything else, people who want everything to be bleeding edge, and people who don’t use desktop environments.
The most important thing for a new user is understand which of those three they are.
I’m of the mind that it can involve a screen - but needs to be a different part of your brain. For example 3d printing, writing, reading a (digital) book. However if you are nearing burnout, you need to pick up something radically increase your non work time, and spend your free time doing something that does not require a screen.
Do it. It’s one of those shows that will haunt you til the end of time.
So I own a framework and use it as a personal device. I love it.
That said I will not be advocating my department replaces our dells with them until they have next day replacement devices (we are entirely remote so there is no “swing by the help desk to have someone fiddle with your computer”).
And gdp is one of the worst ways to measure the economy of the country.
You don’t need to be sorry. I guess I should rephrase my original statement to say Microsoft could buy unity, and the shareholders might not even notice in the quarterly earnings call.
I’m sorry, but I’d be more terrified of Microsoft. A company worth more than nations, (current market cap puts it about the 10th richest country in the world), and who routinely tells other companies to pony up - and they do (look up a software audit if you want to see a corporate shakedown).
The only thing better is if Disney’s legal department thinks there is a risk…
The cheap money is gone. Now suddenly companies need to find profit to satisfy investors.
Switch to Linux but you have major paradigm you need to pick. Do you want your computer to be bleeding edge but it be a hobby? Or do you want slightly older and rock solid? Or do you have an enterprise support contract? You only pick Ubuntu/RHEL if you have the last one.
