I literally just recommended CachyOS to my boss while we were complaining about Windows 11 in our one on one meeting today
how the turntables
It's like that vegan joke. How will you know if someone is a linux user? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
Especially Arch users.
Which I do not use.
I, on the other hand, do use Arch, btw :P
THE PROPHECY HAS COME TO PASS.
I mean I don't really recommend Linux like a lot of people do. I just mention it when it's appropriate and give a list of its drawbacks and benefits, according to specific use case. For home users I just say that Linux Mint or Zorin OS are fine and even better that Windows for this scenario, but I must be honest and also say that something like ChromeOS might be even better if an user spends their whole time in a web browser.
For professional usage (except coding lol) I never recommend or even mention Linux for variety of reasons.
