He points out it's more work, and it surely is. I've shifted in the last 18 months from MacOS to Windows 10, to Linux (Fedora), back to Windows 10, and now back again to Linux (Clear). The Windows/Linux oscillation demonstrates that I'm not really happy with either. I'm staying with Linux for now out of stubbornness. But I wish there were better options, and am saddened that the 2019 desktop OS scene is as dire as it is.
Well, technically you are using an oddball distro initially created for headless embedded systems. He is using a server distro with a i3 DE shoehorned into it.
True on CL (which I wouldn't quite recommend for normal use though its performance is really tempting for developers). But I found the same with Fedora earlier this year. And Ubuntu in the more distant past. It's more-or-less worth it to me, though I do vacillate. The available OS options are all rubbish, each in their distinct way.
