This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
There is only one way to break free and actually own and decide down to every line of code on how you want your system to run. Hell you can make your work flow identical for the next 20 years if you wanted to.
Nobody has time for that... Nobody is actually auditing all the code on their system. Yeah, you could probably customize your experience to a point where you like it, but that too is wise an investment. And it's still not a "good" experience. I only lived on Linux for a short time, but it was pretty awful. For instance, I found that Linux doesn't have any equivalent to a Ctrl Alt del or force quit, so when a full screen program crashes, just restart the machine, it's unrecoverable. That's just one example, but it's that kind of lack of overall design and structure that leaves Linux a hot mess as a home pc OS.
I'm totally happy to run my router, my nas, or a web server on Linux, but I don't want to actually use it as my computer.
