Or are you just not sure how to spell it, so you inserted a placeholder?

Why did you censor the word “French?”

See, you say that as a Linux user. Ordinary folks don’t talk or think like Linux people. Nobody understands what a “process” is, let alone what a container is or what isolation means. And if somebody is used to “pres butan get bacon” anything else is going to sound like gobbledygook. Also: a modern distro running gnome or KDE is harder to screw up. Folks don’t need to use clunky package managers like Synaptics. As a result, they are less likely to break things.

I look forward to thrifting one in a few years, then installing Linux on it.

The fact is, everyone has different experiences in each country. And different people find it easier to assimilate into one or the other. Folks here can share their own stories, but that may not help you figure out which is best for you.
