everyone: you should install Linux, it's so easy

also everyone: I just spent the last two days trying to get Linux to work on my computer and it won't let me open word documents and my motherboard keeps trying to catch fire and I /still/ can't open any files

I keep seeing this kind of take, and it's absolutely valid for some folks and some tasks, but I will also say that for my needs and my purposes as a person who writes code only as a hobby, who games on PC, and who is trying to develop a career as a writer?

Linux is on the whole *more* stable and takes *less* maintenance, subject to three caveats (see next toot).
