Well, I do. In fact I’ve installed Linux on 4 classmate’s laptops, after insisting for some time.

VSCode or JetBrains Rider are good options for .net development, both available on Linux.

all you had to do, was enabling rpm fusion cj

I wish more apps where officially supported, instead of saying it supports Linux and providing a .deb. Good thing the community provides unofficial flatpaks at least.

I understand your perspective but the steps you mentioned are what you’d expect when installing an os. Even windows 11 would require you to turn on TPM which, for some, might be a super painful experience.

you could encrypt onedrive with cryptomator

From what I understand, wayland is better than x11 for privacy bc of the use of portals (the way apps communicate with the system), and flatpak over distro packages for sandboxing (you can also change the permissions yourself with flatseal).

don’t forget if you have location enabled in your phone it tracks every single place you’ve been to

I use flatpak for all GUI apps I use.

I have a zenbook as well (not the same model) and I only had problems with Windows. When coming back from suspension it would be hot and the screen had like white fog on the edges. I tried to fix it but with no success. Frustrated with that I decided to give Linux a try and never had that problem again.

I assume you changed the ssd, I didn’t know that was possible, I thought it was soldered to the motherboard. Is it possible you received a faulty drive from WD?

check fd-find, “A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to ‘find’”. Really good trust me

I don’t understand the nuclear energy hate. Of the nonrenewables it is the cleanest, and it is not always possible to run 100% renewable, (they depend on natural factors such as sun or wind), while nuclear is constant and always producing. Look at Germany and how it is polluting using gas and fossiles, it would be a million times better it they used nuclear energy.

why not just evaluate the apps themselves

“Objectively”: Proceeds to give his opinion

GIMP is shipped by default with Linux distros

This isn’t true for most distros. Might be for some specific distro, but most distros I’ve used don’t come with GIMP pre installed.

If you want microsoft word just use windows. There’s no sense in a “Piracy-based” distro, what would it be? Having wine and qbittorrent pre installed?
