I'm getting to the point where I'm not so much a Linux advocate. When
someone says they like Windows better, I just kind of shrug my shoulders
and say, "Okay." The only that bothers me is when I'm told that Linux is
hard to use, or requires constant tweaking. That's simply not the case
for me. Never has been (at least from 2007 when I started using it as my
main OS). There were challenges in the 90s and early 2000s. (Which is
partly why I didn't stick with it until about 2007.)

As I've mentioned I use both Windows and various Linux distros with very
much the same workload on both OSs. Unless you persistently screw yourself
like FuddNut, I don't see any difference in usability. Sure, you can get
into Linux esoterica but it isn't a necessity like it was 25 years ago.

I built an application from a tarball last week but that was the
exception. It was rtl_433 a program that uses a RTL_SDR dongle to pick up
the 433 MHz packets sent by TPMS sensors, among other odd tihngs that use
the unlicensed frequencies.
