[kwlug-disc] Linus Tech Tips tries Linux as daily driver

[Ron Singh]

I think LTT was more saying that a typical Linux desktop environment should
be more like Windows.
If I am correct in that supposition, then I vehemently agree with LTT:-)

For me It was such a pleasure to land in Cinnamon and Xfce and not have to
relearn how to interact with a PC, it was like dropping into W7 and WinXP.
I might have read their video wrong, likely the case as I distractedly
looking at it.
