     @itsfoss I always had issues when running it on real hardware. I had trouble with the bootloader and last time the Nvidia drivers didn't work at all 🫠

     @itsfoss I have two laptops. They both run Linux. One is Manjaro and the other is Linux Mint.

     @itsfoss Difficulty running some games, need to use Visual Studio for a lot of stuff. The latter might be solved with a Windows VM. The former may just involve abandoning those games (like Destiny 2).

     @itsfoss The only thing stopping most of them is that #Linux didn't come preinstalled on their device.

     @islamicaudiobooks You could say that. Some fear the terminal too!

     @itsfoss Yes but non techy users would never need to see the terminal if they don't want to... especially as everything they need is available with a GUI. We have our community school running Linux in the computer lab and students couldn't care less about the OS as long as the apps are there.
