For a desktop experience? Sure! For a server that needs to be supported for many years? Well...

  Don't Amazon run their servers on Linux?
• kalaksi 10mo ago
  Well what? Don't most servers run Linux? And support is good assuming you pick a distro that fits

    They do. And yes, choosing a good distribution will help. But the fact that most servers run Linux isn't indicating it's the best choice. Most desktops run Windows - and this doesn't mean it's the best desktop OS :-)

      > But the fact that most servers run Linux isn't indicating it's the best choice True, but server choice is typically made by professionals, while desktop choice typically isn't. So people measure those two by a (imo correct) double standard

      Sure, but that's also why I asked you explain your comment.

        I've explained it here, even if it's a bit long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnVp25-6Qao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnVp25-6Qao

  Is this a different timeline where suddenly everything is the other way round?
• stockerta 10mo ago
  For desktop? If you not using gnome then yes.

  That's a curious take. Today's Linux distributions are more reliable than ever with more long-term support than ever. What changed is that you usually do not run a snowflake anymore which you carefully update to the next version in situ, but some amount of compute and storage. Today everything is blue-green and updates mean deploy, destroy behind a load balancer.
