Linux is not for everyone

If you have read some of my other posts, I have mentioned that I have
been a Linux user of some sort for over five years, with last year
being the year I switched to the Linux Desktop.

As much as I love Linux, I do not believe it is for everyone.
Who is Linux for?

Linux is great for those that love to tinker, that love to modify
their computer in more ways than just the hardware.

Linux is for those that care about privacy. For those that want to
actually own their computer.

Linux is great for those that want to learn about how an operating
system works.
Linux is not for...

Linux is not for those that only see their computer as a tool that
needs to do what they want it to do.

Linux is not for those who do not want to spend potentially countless
hours troubleshooting issues.

Linux is not for those who use specific proprietary software that is
locked to the Windows and/or Apple ecosystems. Programs such as Adobe
CC and Microsoft Office do not work on Linux.

Closing Remarks

I am an advocate of Linux. I recommend it to everyone I know. However,
I do not try to shove it down peoples throats.

As much as I love Linux, I know it has its flaws, and it is definitely
not something that can be a complete drop in replacement for those who
have little to no technical knowledge.

If you want to give Linux a try, then that is great! But if you want
to continue to use Windows or macOS, please use whatever is most
comfortable to you!

And remember that you are not limited to ONE operating system.
