@User740504 just because you don't know how to use a linux distribution doesn't mean that the distribution is bad, and you make it worse if you say that you have been programming for 20 years?
That 20 years ago Linux was difficult at user level, I do not deny it, but today even “Arch” which is the distribution that is more configurable and therefore more complex for a novice user, has a simple post-installation script that makes you all the work, not to mention a very good “Arch Wiki” with all the necessary information.

Nowadays you have distributions like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora and others oriented to beginner level users, which is practically install and use (except if you have some VERY rare hardware).

On the other hand, Windows increasingly incorporates bloatware, telemetry and other processes that besides consuming hardware resources, are used to spy and control the user.

I've been using SierraChart on Linux using Wine for more than 5 years, and compared to the times I've tried it on Windows... there is no doubt, even running under Wine has more performance SierraChart on Linux than on Windows.
Now imagine a full native version of SierraChart on Linux without the dependencies of the Windows libraries).

You may be a programmer but, it seems that you don't know how the "others" operating systems work.
