Compared to about 20+yrs ago, when of first contact, #GNU #Linux became a feasible thing for the average user.

Whereas I miss the old Alt-OS-es (sob, sob, #BeOS) Linux has matured to a degree of flexibility and accessibility that makes it first choice for the savvy user, or anyone interested in PRIVACY and NOT supporting evil corporations.

caveats: FWIW, YMMV, IMO/IME, WTFBBQ, NGGYUNGLYD, AYBABTU
