          Funny. I always think Windows and MacOS aren’t quite “there” yet, but I don’t think they ever will be.

          Honestly - I used to think the same way. I’ve tried Linux multiple times and it never “stuck”.

          When I got my Steam Deck, though, I realized that the desktop mode was actually quite good. I had tried KDE before and it was always meh at best - slow and usually janky. When I heard that the Deck used KDE Plasma I was worried.

          But I had such a great time with my Deck that I realized, “Hey, Linux actually seems usable now.” I tried Linux Mint on a Live USB and noticed it got like 90% of the way there, but it had issues with multiple monitors.

          Then I tried KDE Neon. And it was great! Multiple monitors worked fine, I have all the tools I need for work, and honestly it’s such a step up from Windows glitching out or nagging me with a notification to get Xbox Game Pass or whatever or putting ads in the Start menu.

          I’ve had KDE Neon as my daily driver for about a month now, without a single problem. I recommend giving it another look if you’re like me and haven’t tried Linux in a while.
